About This Book

Set at a winter resort on a tiny icy moon beneath a glass dome, the story follows an entrepreneur who runs thrill-seeking orbital excursions through Saturn's rings and faces scrutiny from a skeptical inspector. Guests dodge glittering meteoroid particles while the operator juggles liability, reputation, and a daring young pilot intent on pushing speed limits toward the dark, hazardous inner crepe ring. Tension grows as the proprietor struggles to keep the attraction profitable without provoking an investigation, weighing safety protocols against publicity and personal anxieties about possible catastrophe.
