The bestselling author of Daemon returns with a near-future technological thriller, in which a charismatic billionaire recruits a team of adventurers to launch the first deep space mining operation--a mission that could alter the trajectory of human civilization.
When itinerant cave diver James Tighe receives an invitation to billionaire Nathan Joyce's private island, he thinks it must be a mistake. 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 twenty— first century adventurers--ex-soldiers, former astronauts, BASE jumpers, and mountain climbers--must rely on each other to survive not only the dangers of a multi-year expedition but the harsh realities of business in space. They're determined to transform humanity from an Earth-bound species to a space-faring one--or die trying.
Review “A cut above most tech novels, Suarez's latest benefits from his attention to detail, which boosts the believability of his futuristic vision.”
-— Kirkus
“A gripping and realistic near-future thriller.”
-— Booklist
“High finance and asteroid mining on the High Frontier--terrific!”
-— Greg Bear, New York Times bestselling author
«Thoroughly researched and brilliantly written, Daniel Suarez integrates the technology, intrigue, chaos and the human drama of the next 'giant leap' with rare scientific and operational literacy. Haunting, bold and inspirational, this deep space tale resonates on every level. For me, a twenty-two year NASA veteran in direct mission support, Delta-v captures the very essence of exploration.”
--James Logan, MD, former NASA Chief of Flight Medicine
More Praise for Daniel Suarez and His Novels
“Biopunk has been waiting for its William Gibson, to bring a whole new vision of the future as Mr. Gibson did for cyberpunk, and Daniel Suarez has done it. … Exhilarating, alarming--Daniel Suarez plays the two great thrills of sci-fi against each other, and not just for fun. He thinks this is coming, and he means it. Read it and wonder.”
-— The Wall Street Journal _on _Change Agent
“Terrifyingly plausible.”
**-— Time on _Change Agent
“The depth and sophistication of Suarez's dystopian world--not to mention his facility at making complex science intelligible to the nonexpert--rivals anything Michael Crichton ever did.”
-— Publishers Weekly __(starred review) on _Change Agent
“The action scenes are plenty lively, [but] the best thing about the book is its depiction of a troublesome future in which people can change physical identities the way they change clothes. … A natural at making future shocks seem perfectly believable, Suarez delivers his most entertaining high— tech thriller yet.”
-— Kirkus Reviews on Change Agent

“ The ultimate form of identity theft is just a genetic edit away in Suarez's newest fast-paced, speculative thriller. … Offer this to Michael Crichton and science-fiction-suspense fans.”
-— Booklist on Change Agent**

-— _Publishers Weekly
(starred review) on Daemon**
