In New York Times bestselling author Daniel Suarez's latest technological thriller, a charismatic billionaire recruits a team of adventurers to launch the first mining operation in space -- with the aim of kick-starting an entire off-world economy. But the team soon discovers that space isn't the only risk they'll be facing.
After a half-century hiatus, humanity is gearing up for true space exploration once more, but this time it won't only be nation-states taking part. Delta-v tells the story of a group of commercial space pioneers on a multi-year expedition to lift humanity from an Earth-bound species to a space-faring one.
Much like the private explorers of earlier centuries whose voyages were financed by investors, these new adventurers gravitate toward risk -- ex-soldiers, former astronauts, cavers, salvage divers, base jumpers, and mountain climbers.
As the second Age of Exploration begins, they intend to alter the trajectory of human civilization -- or die trying.
