Pushing Ice Audiobook (Free)

2057. Humanity offers elevated exploiting the solar program to an art. Bella Lind and the staff of her nuclear-powered dispatch, the Rockhopper, press ice. They mine comets. And they’re good at it.

The Rockhopper is nearing the finish of its current mission cycle, and everyone is desperate for some much-needed R & R, when startling news arrives from Saturn: Janus, one of Saturn’s ice moons, has inexplicably left its natural orbit and is now heading out of the solar system at high speed.

As levels of camouflage fall apart, it becomes clear that Janus was hardly ever a moon to begin with. It’s some type of machine-and it really is now going toward a fuzzily glimpsed artifact 260 light-years apart. The Rockhopper is the only dispatch anywhere near Janus, and Bella Lind is certainly ordered to shadow it for the few vital days before it falls forever out of reach.

In accepting this objective, she sets her dispatch and her crew on a collision course with destiny-for Janus has more surprises in store, and not all of them are welcome.
