CRITICAL MASS - DANIEL SUAREZ GEBUNDEN

In New York Times bestselling author Daniel Suarez's latest space-tech thriller  a group of
pioneering astropreneurs must overcome never-before-attempted engineering challenges to rescue
colleagues stranded at a distant asteroid—kicking off a new space race in which Earth's climate
crisis could well hang in the balance. When unforeseen circumstances during an innovative—and
unsanctioned—commercial asteroid-mining mission leave two crew members stranded  those who make
it back must engineer a rescue  all while navigating a shifting web of global political
alliances and renewed Cold War tensions. With Earth governments consumed by the ravages of
climate change and unable to take the risks necessary to make rapid progress in space  the crew
must build their own nextgen spacecraft capable of mounting a rescue in time for the asteroid's
next swing by Earth. In the process they'll need to establish the first spin-gravity station in
deep space  the first orbiting solar power satellite and refinery  and historic infrastructure
on the moon's surface—all of which could alleviate a deepening ecological  political  and
economic crisis back on Earth  and prove that space-based industry is not only profitable  but
possibly humanity's best hope for a livable  peaceful future.
