Two hundred thousand feet up, things go horribly wrong. An experimental low-orbit space plane breaks up on re-entry, falling to earth over a trail hundreds of miles long. And in its wake is the beginning of the most important mission in the history of space. America needs energy, and Dan Randolph is determined to give it to them.
He dreams of an array of powersats - satellites which gather solar energy and beam it to generators on Earth, freeing America from its addiction to fossil fuels and breaking the power of the oil cartels forever. But the wreck of the space plane has left his company, Astro Manufacturing, on the edge of bankruptcy.
A sweeping mix of space, murder, romance, politics, secrets, and betrayal, 'Powersat' will take you to the edge of space and the dawning of a new world.
