"Hunting the Owl" explores a not-so-distant future where human beings have begun to colonize the solar system in pursuit of the immense wealth stored away in asteroids.

Vagor has drifted aimlessly through most of his life, moving from one score to the next. After a card game gone bad, he finds himself on the run from an angry gang of asteroid miners. He is faced with confronting the brutal realities of the Martian colony otherwise known as 'First City', or taking his chances with a crew on the deadly hunt for mineral rich asteroids in The Belt. Where will his fate take him? Hunting the Owl explores a not-so-distant future where human beings have begun to colonize the solar system in pursuit of the immense wealth stored away in asteroids. Asteroid mining or 'hunting' is an often fatal game played by skeleton crews of the greedy, the desperate and the adventurous. Fans of science fiction, high adventure or nautical tales are sure to find a new favorite in this gripping debut page turner from co-authors Eric Bruenner and E.C. Runebren.
