Titanborn by Rhett C. Bruno

A Science Fiction Thriller

Titan's rebellion is coming. Only one man can stop it.

Titanborn

Malcolm Graves is a Collector. The best there is. He's spent a lifetime putting down riots and chasing wanted offworlders across the solar-system for Pervenio Corporation. So long as the pay is right, he's the man for the job.

He never bothers asking questions. And he always works alone.

But after the high-profile bombing of Earth's capital, everything changes. His rattled employer forces him to team up with a younger, cyber-augmented partner more interested in statistics than instinct. An aging Collector's nightmare.

They must track down the suspected group of extremists from Titan, who will stop at nothing to free their moon from the oppressive grip of Earth's corporations. If Malcolm and his strange new partner hope to survive, they'll need to learn to work together.

Experience the beginning of a science fiction series filled with shocking twists that will leave your jaw hanging. If you're a fan of The Expanse, Blade Runner, or Killjoys, you'll love this fast-paced, sci-fi adventure.

Sample text:

The day was A.D. August 29, 2334, three hundred years after the Meteorite crippled Earth. In a little over three months’ time, I, Malcolm Graves, would help spark a revolution. I didn’t know it at the time. I didn’t even consider it a possibility as I crept through the dark, cavernous hallways of a mining facility on an asteroid named 92-Undina. I was focused entirely on the job at hand.

One of the mining chiefs on Undina had decided his wages didn’t match his labor, and he was becoming a problem for my employers at Pervenio Corporation, who happened to own the entire mine. I have no problem with a man asking for more credits if he thinks he deserves them. Hell, I can’t even count how many times I’ve done the same. But this rabble-rouser, Yev Tavar, had inspired the entirety of Undina Mining Sector D to stop working, overthrow the security team stationed there, and shut down all hangar access. With food and water stores in their sector able to last around six months, waiting out their less-than-peaceful strike was not a viable option.

Undina was an M-type asteroid that was unbelievably rich in valuable metals. Pervenio Corporation had drawn it into a close orbit around Earth a few years back when they were selected to build an Ark for the coming Departure, though not without complications. Three centuries ago, a moon-sized Meteorite had nearly wiped all life off Earth, so people remained skeptical about keeping asteroids nearby no matter how lucrative they were.
