Martin Humphries - the fabulously wealthy, coldly ruthless owner of the greatest space-based industrial giant - has been checked, but his malice and ambition remain. He still dreams of bankrupting the rival space exploration company Astro Manufacturing and bringing the independent prospectors who are beginning to stake claims on large and small rocks of the Asteroid Belt under his control. And most of all, he wants to capture the love of beautiful Amanda Cunningham, the woman who spurned his money, and take his revenge on Lars Fuchs, the space prospector who both defied Humphries and married Amanda.
His weapons will be piracy, sabotage and murder. The Asteroid Wars have entered a violent new era.

Review
For Bova fans, Rock Rats has it all--cool technology, whip-fast action, and choreographed intrigue--and this installment certainly ups the ante in the series. As Bova gravely notes, "[T]he Belt became the region where prospectors and miners could make fortunes for themselves, or die in the effort. Many of them died. More than a few were killed." --Paul Hughes

Shipping terms
Heavy books sent internationally at no extra cost:
Postage prices for worldwide shipping are as shown, mostly the extra postage for heavy books or sets is built into the price, so we will not ask for extra payment unless our actual shipping cost proves to be exceptionally high for a specific location.
Everything sent by Airmail:
All INTERNATIONAL orders are sent by Royal Mail Priority Airmail. If you select the faster shipping option it just means we know you're in a hurry and we will do our best to speed things up. We normally batch our international shipments once per week to give you the cheapest possible access to airmail. Generally airmail takes 5-7 business days, longer for some countries, and this is once we have entered your package into the system, so overall up to 10-15 business days, possibly longer for some destinations.
