Orbital Disruption
"A nail-biting race against the clock for fans of Michael Crichton or Andy Weir." - IndieReader In the near future, private companies send robotic spacecraft to mine the asteroid belt. Dennis Li’s startup was the first to prove it could be done but an unscrupulous executive cheated them out of the technology. Vowing revenge, Dennis is pioneering a new business space piracy! His scrappy band of Brooklyn misfits have succeeded in stealing... er... salvaging an asteroid from their larger rival. But in the process they’ve uncovered an insidious plot that threatens far more than the value of their stock options. Facing high-tech dangers in space, at sea, and on the mean streets of Silicon Valley, Dennis and his colleagues must join forces with a secret government agency to save the world from disaster, stay out of jail, and close their next round of funding. Part techno-thriller, part industry satire, Orbital Disruption Is a wild ride through a disturbingly plausible world of tomorrow. Anchors aweigh!

At the end of this book the author states that this is/was his first science fiction novel. In my opinion it shows. One of the hardest part of a sci fi novel is to have a good ending. This story is a rehash of a theme sci fi readers, and movie watchers, have seen before; an asteroid is headed to Earth and we must find a way to stop it. There are some exciting parts n the middle of the book when the Russian agent is out to kill the members of the Jovian team. But then, in my opinion, the book fizzles with them trying to manipulate space crafts millions of miles away to make the asteroid move and not strike the Earth. The end of the book in my opinion was a bunch of gobbledygook as they tried to move the asteroid.

Nice first book
It's a quick read, and a nice take on a classic, if modern story. Good, interesting characters. Just enough technology discussion to show he did his homework with the book. I'm looking forward to his next effort!
