Summary

Visionary space industrialist Dan Randolph is dead, but his protege, pilot Pancho Barnes, now sits on the board of his conglomerate. She has her work cut out for her, for Randolph's rival, Martin Humphries, still wants to control Astro and still wants to drive independent asteroid miners like Lars Fuchs out of business. Humphries wants revenge against Pancho, and, most of all, he wants his old flame, Amanda, who has become Lars Fuchs's wife. Before it ends, many will die, and many will achieve more than they ever dreamed was possible.
Don't miss any of the action on the Asteroid Belt in Ben Bova's The Asteroid Wars.

another Bova classic

a really good follow up to the first asteroid book. only complaint is a few shady attempts at an Aussie accent but I can forgive that

shouldn't change the cast

the content is good but the performance is not as good the previous cast. I find rhis a standard, I read book 2 and 3 party because of the casts efforts. this change almost had me stop reading. I'll try the next book but it may kill rhe series for me.
