Moon 44

A corporate agent playing by his own rules must ensure that a group of pilots, all recruited from the prison system due to an acute staff shortage, cooperate with the computer guys who manage the navigation systems for the helicopters protecting an isolated mining outpost.

In the near future of 2038, Earth's resources have run out and humanity has sought out space. War is being waged over the celestial bodies that have useful resources by the multinational corporations that hold power. One battleground is Moon 44 in the outer zone. Agent Felix Stone arrives here to find the reason why expensive equipment owned by Galactic Mining has disappeared under mysterious circumstances. What he finds at the mining base turns out to be a greater tangle of corruption, violence and abuse than anyone could have imagined.
