Excelsior

by Michael Paul

In Spring of 2035: An entrepreneurial wizard goes to space station Excelsior to pitch to investors and visit the bio-engineered woman of his dreams. In Washington, D.C. a rouge intelligence agent starts the clock on a plot to destroy China. In Bangkok, Thailand, a notorious master of human cloning cuts a deal with a shadowy patron, then pulls an obsolete model from storage and modifies it for a suicide mission. And when these men cross paths, all eyes will turn to Excelsior, where a deadly secret could seal the fate of millions.

Excellent speculative sci-fi. Paul takes current tech and projects trends, applies them to socio-economics and viola, "Excelsior." This is as good as anything Crichiton has written.
