"Lerner's world-building and extrapolating are top notch."
-SFScope
However wildly people had imagined First Contact? They never imagined
this.
They weren't supposed to be there. They hadn't planned to be there. But neither had they planned for the near-catastrophic explosion that had all but destroyed their interstellar passenger vessel.
There
was somewhere on the far fringes of what the rustic locals-for all they knew alone in the universe-egotistically capitalized as
the
Solar System. But however primitive these humans, scarcely spacefaring at all, they were the last, best, and-however vanishingly small-only hope for the few surviving passengers of the starship
Greater Good
to avoid lingering deaths on some remote, icy rock.
And the crew of the tiny spaceship
Andrew Carnegie
? They entertained no plans beyond keeping secret the identity of their destination asteroid, exploiting its storehouse of precious metals, and fantasizing over how to spend their anticipated wealth.
The universe, once again, didn't give a damn what anyone had planned ....
"One of the leading global writers of hard science fiction."
