Synopsis
Once upon a time in 2067, one hundred years after the Outer Space Treaty that prohibits the appropriation of natural resources in space, from the Olympia space station, the Commander Howard Pickpower and his crew are in charge of various activities: development of miraculous vaccines, carry out tests with solar energy, destroy space debris and potentially dangerous meteorites or asteroids, and analyze the composition of celestial bodies, searching for new materials and investigating existing ones. A sensational discovery in the hidden zone of the Moon, faithfully kept in secret, sets off alarms in the Olympia and its governing bodies (the International Space Agency and the United Nations Security Council). So much so that its geopolitical implications could lead to disregarding the Outer Space Treaty and space legislation, and initiate a stage of space mining, with armed conflicts among several nations or a world war. Meanwhile, five spaceships from different governments and corporations, motivated by the leak of information and rumors, are traveling to the far side of the Moon. Commander Howard Pickpower is instructed to prevent the moon landings, but has problems with Captain Tishy Glassvery, who is determined to take command of Olympia, and reveal to the citizens that indeed: there is gold on the Moon! In the same way, Howard Pickpower and Tishy Glassvery have a strange love-hate relationship. But, in the end the forces of love will decide their destiny, and that of humanity! So, what will happen when citizens know the truth? What will be the geopolitical and economic implications? How will the special legislation remain, given the eminent disowning of the prohibition of appropriating space natural resources? Although surely, there will be an unusual beginning of the new space age... Chapters of the novel Chapter One. The Majesty of the Cosmos Chapter Two. A Sensational Discovery Chapter Three.
