Synopsis
Living in space is far different from what Lani Stiles and her best friend Jonathan envisioned when they signed on with the Atlantis Power Company. They thought they were escaping a decimated post-industrial Earth in the year 2167 to work on the first space based solar power station. The recruiting posters bely the broken promises, treachery, and secrets they find once they survive the trip to space from their home in Yellowknife, Canada. They are thrust into an environment where they are little more than slaves to the ego of Atlantis' architect Emile Arkinson. Lani's only hope to surviving the harshness of Atlantis may be Emile's son Zach Arkinson, soon to embark on a despate mission to Jupiter to save the Earth.

À propos de l'auteur
James E. Dunstan is an “Orphan of Apollo.” Jim watched the great space race unfold on television at a time when school classes were regularly interrupted to show Gemini and Apollo launches and splashdowns. Jim grew up reading the science fiction classics by Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury, and bought into the notion, sold by both these writers and the government, that we were just a few years away from creating a spacefaring civilization. Jim desperately wanted to be a part of that breakout, but in a non-traditional way. So he became a lawyer, hoping to help craft the laws that would govern a multi-planet species. Jim believes he has lived up to his part of the bargain, becoming a noted specialist in Space Law (inadvertently becoming his own meme), and publishing numerous articles on topics such as space property rights, the law of orbital debris remediation, and even applying the U.S. Bill of Rights to a lunar colony. Alas, the rest of society turned away from space exploration and colonization after America landed a few humans on the Moon. Jim is part of the small rabble of people dedicated to taking us back to the Moon, and beyond. With his fiction writing, Jim hopes to rekindle the spirit of exploration and excitement of a future beyond the confines of Earth. His writing applies real technologies already on the drawing board, just waiting for visionaries to implement them, in a genre Jim likes to call NewSpace Fiction.
