He also has esactly the right ship ready to begin the world's biggest mining operation. he expects to beat the competition by miles. Waht is doesn't expect is double-dealing from his own country, attempted assassination, intrigue from within his trusted shipboard "family" and a shooting war whose object is the destruction of the U.S.S.
