Summary
Humanity has colonized the solar system - Mars, the Moon,
the Asteroid Belt and beyond - but the stars are still out of
our reach. Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings
of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his
crew stumble upon a derelict ship,
The Scopuli, they find themselves in possession of a
secret they never wanted. A secret that someone is willing to
kill for - and kill on a scale unfathomable to Jim and his
crew. War is brewing in the system unless he can find out who
left the ship and why. Detective Miller is looking for a girl. One girl in a system
of billions, but her parents have money and money talks. When
the trail leads him to
The Scopuli and rebel sympathizer Holden, he realizes
that this girl may be the key to everything. Holden and Miller must thread the needle between the Earth
government, the Outer Planet revolutionaries, and secretive
corporations - and the odds are against them. But out in the
Belt, the rules are different, and one small ship can change
the fate of the universe. James S.A. Corey is the pen name of fantasy author Daniel
Abraham and Ty Franck, George R.R. Martin's
assistant.About the Author
