Two asteroid miners find a dead, drifting ship - but its pilot, Paul Dekker, is alive, insane from shock, and screaming... screaming clues to a mystery that no one
wants solved...
WHAT IS MAMA HIDING?
Paul Dekker, a kid with a dream, wakes to anightmare. His ship is stolen, his future destroyed, his beautiful partner missing, his memory gone. The ASTEX mining monopoly, Mama, accuses Sim, of being negligent, crazy, and foolish, as well as a cold-blooded murderer. And only a renegade miner, Morris Bird, will help Paul learn the truth.
Because somewhere in Dekker’s mind lies a dark secret that can change the fate of worlds.
