angelofthe0dd's review against another edition
4.0
This was the best of the first three books. Ben Bova moves the plot quickly, making the action exciting and knuckle-biting. One of the things I loved was the technical detail Ben Bova gives to the science of space and physics. His space battles aren't like Star Wars. There's no sound in space. I also liked how the author developed the political personalities of his characters. Each major character in the story has a strong political view of the World. The author defines each character's views and keeps them consistent throughout the books.

Pretty much continues from where The Rock Rats left off....the characters that Bova developed so well in the first two asteroid war books continue to battle for the riches of the asteroid belt, as well as resolve their personality differences in various ways. Humphries, Astro Corporation, and Yamagata Corporation fall into a deadly battle for control of this vast area of treasures. Bova ends this one with mention of an alien artifact which casts an air of morality over the entire story. Another good read in the Grand Tour.
