The most valuable rock in the system just became the deadliest.
Rosetta should have been just another asteroid mining colony, that is, until ORI was discovered. Harder than diamond, rarer than gold, and essential to every piece of technology in human space, ORI is worth fortunes...and lives.
When sabotage strikes the colony, Jim Meade is pulled into a conspiracy that pits miners, mercenaries, and zealots against each other in a brutal fight for control. As factions close in and Rosetta itself becomes a weapon aimed at Earth, Meade must face his fears and risk everything to stop catastrophe.
Because when the system's most powerful mineral is on the line, the cost of failure isn't measured in credits-it's extinction.
