Fugitives from Earth

ATLAS: the largest interplanetary ship ever built. It's an asteroid mining vessel, a refinery, a manufacturing plant, and a public relations statement all rolled into one massive vehicle. With it, the future of Belt Group's influence in an increasingly exploited Solar System is nearly assured.Until it disappears.The last people to see it: a group of innocent miners whose livelihood it threatens. Tasked with tracking them down: a monomaniacal corporate troubleshooter. Her boss: a ruthless climber of the executive ladder. Caught up in the chaos: a corrupt bureaucrat with his own agenda, a smuggler king of the inner system, and a anti-government demagogue inciting rebellion throughout the system.These people, caught up in events outside their control, must struggle to survive in a Solar System torn asunder by the forces of political and economic change.
