"Can a clone write his own destiny?"
A clone wrangler, a rogue astrobiologist, and a dead alien's ship. The Belt saves humanity — but the cost is Captain Bob.
"What does humanity look like from the outside?"
A second Mind Pool mobilizes. Humanity is not forgiven for what it did. The Belt must answer for its miracle.
"What happens when the universe stops being linear?"
The Go-To device opens the quantum frontier. The itch that started it all echoes across every version of Glenn:236.
The Belt has been running a mining operation for over a century. So has someone else. And humanity just showed up on their inventory.
The world is built. The pipeline is ready. The only question is who pulls the trigger.
Five completed novels spanning the Solar Saga — from the colonization of Mars in 2035 to the asteroid belt world of 2185. All available for editorial review. Belter World and Earth Ring are also available as a motion picture screenplay and episodic pilot under the title The Belt.
