Sinossi

Young Bixby was sold to Smeiser Spaceworks, where he rose against all odds to control Venture Lab, running clandestine experiments far from prying eyes. When his rival comes to collect on a deal forged in betrayal, Bixby must choose a side. From the book: Bixby knew his excuses wouldn’t resonate with Laramy Orbital; they would insist on an implant. Laramy had a reputation for that. If Smeiser capitulated in its negotiations to settle, everything would be gone—his technical throne, Venture Lab, even Niner. Laramy Orbital wouldn’t be as willing to be fooled by technical jargon and obfuscation—enough of their managers rose on technical excellence in contrast to Smeiser’s tradition of lineage. They would uncover his main project—that just wouldn’t do. The hearing had adjourned with questions of process, but there was no doubt which corporation would win. Negotiations would only parcel out the assets to be transferred, not prevent the transactions altogether. Something had to be done. Bixby not only had to conceal his secrets from Smeiser now; he had to conceal them from a new overlord at Laramy he hadn’t met. He knew nothing of their internal procedures.
