      About This Book

      HELP WANTED.
      LONG HOURS, DANGEROUS CONDITIONS.
      MUST BE WILLING TO RELOCATE...

      They are the men and women who are building the future. The beamjacks. The zero-gee construction workers hired to assemble gigantic satellites in the vacuum of space.

      On the job, a moment's carelessness can lead to catastrophe. But the hardest part comes when the working day is over: boredom, homesickness, and the painful memories of the Earth they've left behind.

      Management and the military think they have the beamjacks under control.

      They're wrong.
