Cover Art: Mark Harrison (illustratore). 1st Edition. © 2001: 1st in the 'Asteroid Wars' series of books & a part of the 'Grand Tour' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: The Asteroid Wars - The asteroids are the richest source of metals and minerals humankind has ever discovered. They hold far more physical wealth than the entire planet Earth: untold megatons of gold, silver, platinum, rare earths; even water and organic chemicals. These are the stories of the men and women who reach the asteroids, begin to mine their treasures and fight over the incredible wealth they hold. The Precipice - Once, Dan Randolph was one of the richest men on Earth. Now the planet is spiralling into environmental disaster, with floods and earthquakes destroying the lives of millions. Randolph knows the energy and natural resources of space can save Earth's economy, but the price may be the loss of the only thing he has left - the company he founded, Astro Manufacturing. Martin Humphries, fabulously wealthy heir of the Humphries Trust, also knows that space-based industry is the way of the future. But unlike Randolph he does not care if Earth perishes in the process. And he knows that the perfect bait to ensnare Dan Randolph and take control of Astro is his revolutionary new fusion rocket propulsion system. As Randolph - accompanied by two beautiful women who are also brilliant astronauts - flies out to the Asteroid Belt aboard a fusion-propelled spacecraft, Humphries makes his move. The future of mankind lies in Randolph's hands:- Review(s): "The science fiction author who will have the greatest effect on the world" - Ray Bradbury:- (original cost £17.99).
