Thieves' Sky

By Wil McCarthy

WHO OWNS THE SKY?

The Trillionaires Are At It Again Can Pirates Save Us?

"A hard science fiction tour de force, populated by memorable characters in a tale of intrigue, adventure, and irresistible market forces." --Linda Nagata

When oligarchs control the space program, is piracy a virtue?

While trillionaires jockey for control of space resources and rogue AIs prowl the Internet, a dangerous alien technology--the Fracture--has fallen into the hands of space pirates who have no idea what they stole. Unfortunately, law and order are hard to come by when you're a million miles from Earth.

Meanwhile, the balance of power, already precarious, has tumbled Cislunar space into an undeclared war. Now, in a race against time, the crew of the CV Defender must track the pirates to their lair before the Fracture destroys the entire Solar System. But in a world this complex, who exactly are the good guys?
