About This Book
Ryan Richmond has dreamed about going to space since the age of seven. Reading space updates—and seeing pictures of Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface in National Geographic—was the ignition of this dream.
At nineteen he sold his first company and employed the remnants of the Russian Space Program, three of the best space brains in the world. In his twenties he founded and sold two more companies and hired the most outstanding scientists and engineers from the European Space Authority. During his thirties, after selling his third company, he invested heavily in Internet start-ups, like Google, netting billions. Then he patiently waited until NASA's shuttle program came to an end and contracted the best brains in the U.S. Space program, and went to Space.
Decades later, Ryan and his crew at Astermine Co. are experienced space travelers, and it is time to begin a scheduled trading route between their new base on Mars, and Earth. Each planet has treasures the other planet desperately needs, but there are a few unhappy space people who don't want Homo sapiens on their planet.
