Summary

Serendipity…For the better part of twenty-five years, both Octavia Fiske and Armand Mundy have long awaited this particular weekend.For Fiske, the CEO of the Norwood Fox, this weekend represents new beginnings, as the company morphs into an undeniable behemoth. While for Mundy, it's the opposite; the end of the Air Force major general's tenure acting as lead mechanical engineer on the globe's prototype autarkical space station—the First Arcadia.Originally conceived by her father and the company's founder, Maynard Fiske, and built by some of the finest minds to ever walk the planet, First Arcadia is a dream come true to governments and citizens alike.Essentially, the station seeks to become humanity's primary gateway to the heavens. Something you can't put a price on, although Fiske and her constituents are determined enough to try.And it is their greed that ultimately may doom us all as the space station is commandeered by a rogue faction that seems to know the true magnitude of the First Arcadia's power. Unfortunately for Mundy and his protégé, Max Conaway, they are unwittingly pressed into duty to act as the planet's last line of defense. Should they fail in their mission, the results may prove catastrophic.Heaven is undeniably in hell!
