About This Book

Two technicians installing navigational beacons on an asteroid find a cache of valuable ore that breeds mutual suspicion and greed. One man sabotages the other's airlock, leaving him stranded outside with dwindling suit oxygen and a selection of cutting and welding tools. Faced with imminent death, the trapped technician methodically evaluates escape options, improvises with available equipment, and attempts to regain access while thwarting his partner. The narrative centers on survival under confinement, the corrosive effects of sudden wealth, and the tension between calculated calm and desperate improvisation in a hostile, low-gravity setting.
