Moon Rising

Frank Sawyer controls a business empire on earth, but it isn’t enough. The crowning achievement of the 21st century will be the commercialization of space, and he wants to be part of it. He’s developed the means to move people cheaply into earth orbit. The question is—what do they do when they get there? The answer comes in 2030 when China perfects clean burning nuclear fusion using Helium 3. While almost non-existent on earth, the moon has enough of the rare Helium isotope to power civilization for ten thousand years. The winner of this race will control global energy production. They will also control access to space. To win, Frank must battle totalitarian China, domestic terrorists, a nuclear-armed Iran, and hostile forces in his own government. His competitors know the stakes, and they play for keeps. Frank risks not only his fortune, but his life and the lives of those closest to him.
