It was supposed to be a routine mission, but in an asteroid belt nothing is routine.

 

When prospecting ship Shamu is almost destroyed in a distant asteroid belt, the crew of five is left with three days of air, little water, a smashed starflight drive, and no hope of rescue. It will take every ounce of ingenuity and stubborn pigheadedness they possess to find a way to survive.

 

In the shadows of a small moon, there's a discovery waiting to be made—the secret to first contact. Will it open the stars to widespread exploration, or doom mankind to extinction?

 

 

Despite being part of a series, THE TESSERENE IMPERATIVE is a complete, stand-alone story. You don't necessarily have to read Book One (The Mars Imperative)—but, of course, you’ll want to!.
