About This Book

A lone meteor salvager endures harsh, costly work and crushing isolation while hunting valuable meteoric metal. During a routine sweep he spots a bright, fast-moving object, maneuvers to capture it, and brings a mysterious derelict rocket into his possession. The salvage effort shifts from routine prospecting into a tense, hazardous investigation as failing supplies, the dangers of vacuum and meteoroids, and an unseen lethal presence aboard the abandoned craft force him to confront both practical survival challenges and an unsettling, deadly mystery.
