I started reading Ben's work when I was in University. To tell the truth I had never heard of his name before when I saw the fantastic artwork on his novel - Titan. It was sitting on the top of the bargain bin at the local news agency and I thought I would give it a shot since the blurb on the back seemed interesting. Boy was I right! Not only is Ben a hugo award winner but he is also a doctor. The way he writes his fiction makes you believe the technology exists because he has actually worked on the development of certain technologies. His books always seem to mention nanotechnology which I surely wish we had in present time as the tasks these nanomachines conduct blow your mind.
In this book, it tells the story of Earth's destruction by global warming and the consequences in which humanity has to deal with in order to protect our species and existence. The main plot line surrounds the main character charting humans first long distance exploration of space to the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt was chosen as it possessed many natural resources which have begun to run dry on Earth. The mission went on with a horde of controversy but to know if it was successful you will need to read the book. As the series contains 3 books named the asteroid wars; I look forward to the next installment named The rock rats.
Keep up the good work Ben!
