Book Description
================
The Asteroid Wars continue When corporations go to war, standard business
practice goes out the window. Astro Corporation is led by indomitable
Texan Pancho Lane, Humphries Space Systems by the rich and ruthless
Martin Humphries, and their fight is over nothing less than resources
of the Asteroid Belt itself. Fighting escalates and the lines between
commerce and politics, boardroom and bedroom, blur-and the keys to victory
will include physics, nanotechnology, and cold hard cash.It's a breakneck
finale that can end only in earth's salvation-or the annihilation of
all that humankind has ever accomplished in space.

The best book in Bova's series, this deals with a variety of characters
in the near future, when man has partially colonized the Asteroid Belt
between Mars and Jupiter for the purpose of mining. Our hero is a former
space pilot named Pancho Lane, now a corporate giant who dukes it out
(so to speak) with the rich and ruthless tycoon, Martin Humphries, and,
mostly unknowingly, a Japanese conglomerate led by the Yamagata family.
There are various levels of character development here, as well as Bova's
knowledgeable scientific speculations. The readers do uniformly well,
though Producer Stefan Rudnicki, who modestly omits himself from the
primary cast members, sometimes drops his low voice toward inaudibility.
