About This Book

A determined man seeks an affordable asteroid to develop as a private estate and investment. Although the sphere appears desirable, with a pleasant climate, breathable air, abundant vegetation and valuable minerals, the corporate sellers refuse to market it because a mysterious, enormous creature occupies the surface and has killed or driven off earlier buyers and armed expeditions. Undeterred, he negotiates purchase terms that release the company from liability, accepts the danger to pursue the claim, and prepares to confront the unknown tenant in hopes of clearing the world and securing his future.
