Synopsis

A NEW NOVEL OF REAL SF FROM WIL McCARTHY

Space: a tycoon's playground. From a space station full of women to a monastery on the Moon, from a Martian reality–TV contest to a solar shade large enough to cool the Earth, the dreams of a handful of trillionaires dictate
the future of humanity. Outside the reach of Earthly law and with the vast resources of the inner solar system at their disposal, the “Four Horsemen” do exactly as they please.

The governments of Earth are not amused; an international team of elite military women, masquerading as space colonists, are set to infiltrate and neutralize the largest and most dangerous project in human history. But
nothing is that simple when rich men control the sky, as everyone involved is about to discover.
