Israel, October 1973. As the Yom Kippur War flares into life, a state-of-the-art Soviet MiG fighter plane plummets to an unexpected landing. NASA Flight Controller and former US test pilot Kaz Zemeckis watches from the ground—unaware that its arrival will pull him into a high-stakes game of spies, lies, and secrets that hold the key to Cold War air and space supremacy.

I will read/listen to anything Mary Robinette Kowal writes! This does not disappoint. Wonderful characters, intriguing mystery, and a high-tech space-based environment. Please, please, please, we need to hear more from Tesla. Thank you for a wonderful story.

Historia
Formula One has long maintained a glitzy aura that masks dark and strange goings-on in the background. But with the 2019 season came a force louder than Formula One could dream of muffling: William Storey, the founder of British energy drink startup Rich Energy. Storey became a multimillion-dollar sponsor of the Haas Formula One team a year after records showed Rich Energy having a mere $770 in the bank. He equated his doubters to moon-landing truthers. But where were actual cans of Rich Energy, and did the supposed sponsorship funds exist?

How could this have happened!
Revisado: 06-29-23
I follow Alanis on Twitter and enjoy her outlook, attitude, and humor, and am jealous of her access to some of the biggest racing series and auto manufacturers in the world. That alone was enough to listen to this book. I was not super aware of what was happening with Rich Energy at the time, so much of this was quite new to me and interesting. How the heck did some of the smartest people in the world fall for this con man? No wonder nobody wanted to talk about this as it showed a total lack of due diligence on so many powerful and successful people. I understand that some may not like how much of this story cannot be fully vetted due to this reticence to be shown as gullible or even negligent, but the authors did a good job of laying out all the efforts to gain the answers to critical questions. Maybe someday more information will come out and the authors could finish the story we all want to know.

But Tighe's unique skill set makes him a prime candidate for Joyce's high-risk venture to mine a near-Earth asteroid - with the goal of kick-starting an entire off-world economy. The potential rewards and personal risks are staggering, but the competition is fierce, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Isolated and pushed beyond their breaking points, Tighe and his fellow 21st-century adventurers must rely on each other to survive....

Doing reviews a little backward, sorry. I have now listened to both Book 1 (this) and Book 2. I am really liking this series and am eager for Book 3! The opportunity of space to provide the resources for expansion is clear to everyone and we know it will be a major adventure to use them. I look forward to this future.

Historia
When unforeseen circumstances during an innovative—and unsanctioned—commercial asteroid-mining mission leave two crew members stranded, those who make it back must engineer a rescue, all while navigating a shifting web of global political alliances and renewed Cold War tensions. With Earth governments consumed by the ravages of climate change and unable to take the risks necessary to make rapid progress in space, the crew must build their own next-gen spacecraft capable of mounting a rescue in time for the asteroid's next swing by Earth.

I am really enjoying this series and cannot wait for Book 3. More realistic tech and advances using space resources are intriguing and encouraging to this retired engineer.

Historia
Priscilla “Hutch” Hutchins discovers an interstellar message from a highly advanced race that could be her last chance for a mission before the program is shut down for good. Hutch has been the academy’s best pilot for decades. She’s had numerous first contact encounters and even became a minor celebrity. But world politics have shifted from exploration to a growing fear that the program will run into an extraterrestrial race more advanced than humanity and war.

Story telling at its best!
Revisado: 04-21-23
Well written and performed, I loved the positive view that we must look out and help others. The idea that people are defined by intelligence and empathy, something that seems in short supply these days. I am hoping for a sequel!
