The Regolith Find: The Sublunary Cycle, Book Three

By Alistair Wainwright

Day 1198. Shackleton Base Alpha, second tour.

Four hundred metres below a commercial mining face, two instruments that have never met agree on a signature that no reference model on either side of the partition can certify. The rock is not the question. The question is who gets to say what the rock is.

A mining consortium wants the face open. A Senate committee wants a finding. Beijing wants reciprocity. And the commander who circulated the other side's paper because it was accurate discovers what it costs to represent an adversary fairly: your own side stops being sure you are on it.

Hard science fiction about not-knowing as a position, the fog between honest models, and the difference between the record and the headline.
