The Planetary Frontier

The day controlled nuclear fusion becomes a reality will be the day humanity sets sail for the stars. Five hundred years later, the Asteroid Belt, now grown strong enough to stand on its own, defiantly raises the banner of rebellion and turns against Mother Earth, the world it once yearned for above all else. With a population of only one-thousandth of Earth's, the Belt's path to rebellion is bound to be extraordinarily difficult. All the technologies and equipment featured in this novel have theoretical foundations and prototypes in the real world. The author strives to paint a vivid, realistic panorama of the Solar System's colonial age.
