From the best traditions of hard science-fiction.
The omnipotent corporations of the future have nearly taken over every asteroid mining operation in space. Independent miners like Collier South have been left without a rock to stand on, choking on corporation space dust.
But one last trip for Collier might reveal the motherlode!
If only he can sniff out the most promising rock and grapple onto it, his 'make-do' past will become his 'can-do' future.
It's a race, and Collier South must get there before his vindictive ex-lover (and her shiny new corporate ship) steals it from him!
Armed with old-school maneuvers and sage advice from his trusty onboard computer, Collier campaigns to mine the rock, pay off his debts, and change his life forever. And should things go beyond his expectations, and the rock offers him more than he can imagine, he'll also need a plan to safeguard his future and protect the universe as well!
All of which assumes, of course, that the corporation doesn't cheat, get there first, or conspire to pry every last thing from his cold, stubborn, nearly dead fingers.
