The Triad

Earth banned the launch. So he launched anyway. Now he powers the planet.

When regulators grounded Jax Kessler for flying without permission, he called it Tuesday. 3,300 illegal flights later, he built the highway to orbit.

Elena Vasquez turned sunlight into a weapon. 100 gigawatts from L1, beamed to Earth at two cents per kilowatt-hour. When a county tried to tax it, she shut the sky off and taught the world what an energy embargo looks like from space.

Lin Zhao melts the Moon with bad robots and a mass driver that fires every six seconds. China declared it illegal. The physics didn't care.

LAUNCH. POWER. METAL.

They are The Triad. Three companies that became a country. They don't trust each other. They don't have to. If one falls, they all do.

The Triad: The Industrial Ascent is hard science fiction for readers of The Martian, Delta-V, and Red Mars. No aliens. No FTL. No hand-waving. Just the terrifying math of getting rich off-planet - and the politics of what happens when you succeed.

What readers will find:

• How to industrialize the Moon with no supply chain
• Why space-based solar power breaks energy markets - and governments
• The real engineering behind Kessler Syndrome, mass drivers, and orbital law
• A thriller about rockets, regulators, and the price of light
