Europa Rising is available on Amazon, Ibooks, Sony Books, Diesel Books, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble and Kobo.

This is my first novel, a full length military sci-fi with a hint of techno-thriller mixed in. It is also a near future look at the Terran expansion into space with multi-national conglomerates and resource driven governments driving the rapid movement beyond the inner solar system. On Sale, at Amazon is also an examination of that life in space where weeks and months of travel in cold enclosed environments are marked by wearying repetitive routine in a lonely and very unforgiving environment.
