THE FUTURE NEEDS EXPLORERS. IT MAY NEED GREED EVEN MORE.
George Marquis Lorrilard is a space exploiter with one dependable motive: profit. In a future where complacency has weakened the drive to explore and rival powers threaten the balance of worlds, Lorrilard’s appetite for wealth may be exactly the force no one expected to need.
Armed with nerve, ambition and a technology that can turn air itself into an invisible barrier, he enters a struggle where personal gain and planetary power become impossible to separate.
He wants a fortune.
The world needs an advantage.
And the same greed that can corrupt a man may be the thing that pushes humanity forward.
Provocative, fast-moving and idea-driven, Greed is classic science fiction that turns ambition, technology and geopolitical conflict into an adventure with consequences far beyond one man’s bank account.
Three complete science fiction adventures in one volume. Also included are:
Final Enemy — Earth’s rival powers unite to hunt a terrifying alien threat—only to discover that the enemy they fear may be much closer than anyone imagined.
The Automagic Horse — A Hollywood special-effects genius builds a mechanical horse for the movies while hiding a far more audacious project inside the studio budget: a path to the Moon.
