About this listen

Ben Bova's The Silent War is the breakneck continuation to The Asteroid Wars series that can end only in earth's salvation - or the annihilation of all that humankind has ever accomplished in space. When corporations go to war, standard business practice goes out the window.

Astro Corporation is led by indomitable Texan Pancho Lane, Humphries Space Systems by the rich and ruthless Martin Humphries, and their fight is over nothing less than resources of the Asteroid Belt itself.

Fighting escalates and the lines between commerce and politics, boardroom and bedroom, blur - and the keys to victory will include physics, nanotechnology, and cold hard cash.It's a breakneck finale that can end only in earth's salvation - or the annihilation of all that humankind has ever accomplished in space.

It rocks! Don't miss any of the action in Ben Bova's Asteroid Wars series, including the first book, The Precipice, the second, The Rock Rats, and the fourth, The Aftermath.©2004 Ben Bova (P)2005 Audio Renaissance, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC Adventure Science Fiction Space Opera Fiction War

Critic Reviews

"Vintage Bova, with intrigues, hardware, and action all applied lavishly to a fast-moving story." (Booklist)

Ben Bova’s Grand Tour series is getting better and better. This has been a good listen but sadly the next one in the series isn’t on audible Aust so not sure properly how it ends.
Looking forward to the next story though

Just keeps getting better
