Who or what really killed the young son of Southern Baptist preacher Gareth Holbright? Where do the sympathies of straight-laced military commander John Herman really lie? What's behind the cover-up of the closed moon colony? And will commitment-phobic Sam and ambitious journalist Tina ever reunite?
The first book in the Cassiopeia Chronicles, The Right Asteroid is set in the early years of the twenty-second century, when human colonies in space have created the equivalent of a new Wild West. Freedom-loving asteroid hunter Sam Julian wants nothing more than to have some fun and make enough money to pay off zir space ship, in that order. Instead, what ze'd thought was zir last-chance asteroid turns out to be an alien probe - and Sam makes first contact, setting off a chain of events that will change human life on earth, the moon, and Mars forever. Along the way, Sam joins forces with an unlikely new team of human friends to save the lives of a half-million geometry-loving, high-tech aliens who call themselves the Kurool. But EarthGov will stop at nothing to prevent the aliens from settling on Mars.
In The Saturn Moon...
Sam, the gutsy asteroid hunter from The Right Asteroid, has retired from space and is living a placid life as a big-shot xenoscientist on Mars... but not for long. Soon ze's called back into service to intervene with Koth, a telepathic, vengeful, catlike species who are heading straight toward Mars with weapons more powerful than human beings have ever seen.
What's the connection between doomed space entrepreneur Henry and the power-mad planetary dictator Zoetrope? Did Jesus Christ himself really live among the Kurool? And has Sam finally bitten off more than ze can chew - or live through?
