About this ebook
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Kate Shugak series, A Handful of Stars is the second thrilling novel in the hit Star Svensdotter trilogy by Dana Stabenow.
Ellfive Colony won its independence in the One-Day Revolution, but while much has since been forgiven, the colony's debts haven't been. The orbital nation needs minerals and ore to achieve its production goals and start making serious money, and in this solar system, the cost of lifting rocks to orbit is prohibitive; the only viable option is to mine them yourself.
Experienced explorer Star Svensdotter leads a prospecting expedition to the Belt, located on the very edges of Earth's colonization of space. It's not exactly unexplored territory: a motley assortment of grifters, drifters and fortune hunters have already made the Belt their home. But Star and her crew soon find that they have a lot to offer the anarchic frontier society, and that there are richer opportunities than merely mining for minerals...
