"Marshall Hunter only wanted to fly: the faster, the higher, the better. But Space Force has other plans for him: interplanetary search and rescue. So when a billionaire couple goes missing on their way to survey a near-Earth asteroid, the nuclear-powered Borman is dispatched on an audacious, high-speed interplanetary run to find the couple's wayward spacecraft and bring them home. Yet as they approach the asteroid, the Borman becomes hopelessly disabled, while back in near-Earth Orbit, cislunar space falls into chaos as critical satellites fail and valuable lunar mineral shipments disappear in transit. Facing an impossible choice between salvation and sacrifice, Marshall Hunter has to find a way to save both his crewmates and the dawning Space Age civilization itself from an insidious foe!--Page 4 of cover
