Eros Ascending

Aboard a luxurious pleasure station drifting above a distant world, a business empire's most profitable property is about to become a battlefield. The Velvet Comet caters to wealthy patrons who come to indulge private fantasies, and its owners are locked in a quiet, ruthless contest over who will command the whole conglomerate. Into this atmosphere arrives Harry Redwine, a skilled saboteur sent with a covert objective: to falsify the station's accounts until it collapses financially. Numbers are his specialty, but the station is run by a formidable madam and her staff, who read people as skillfully as Harry reads ledgers and have no intention of letting him succeed quietly.
