Inhaltsangabe

An asteroid mining disaster threatens to start the next world war.. and a washed up ex-astronaut is the only hope for saving the future.

The crew of the first commercial space mission to retrieve an asteroid for mining purposes has been killed in a catastrophic accident. Ex-astronaut Charles ‘Chuck’ Sorrel is hired to look into the affairs of Abundance, the company behind the mission. He asks a few questions, makes a few conclusions, and writes some recommendations... but never gets a chance to collect.

Sorrel's easy-money gig turns sour when rival Chinese asteroid mining company Yangshen is implicated. The discovery triggers an international incident between two superpower nations and thrusts an unwilling Sorrel into a trip across the Pacific, dinner with Yangshen’s CEO, confrontations with the Mission Commander's widow Jen, and pressure from the Senator to “hurry up and get to the bottom of things”. As tensions rise, Sorrel must navigate the web of lies before he too becomes 'an accidental death'.. and make peace with his past in order to save the future.

Abundance is a cross-genre sci-fi thriller that spans the world and the heavens above... offering a glimpse into the messy near-future world of commercial space exploration and militarization, emergent AGI and geopolitical intrigue - where the ground truth is all-too-human and wholly unpredictable.
