About This Book
HELP WANTED.
LONG HOURS, DANGEROUS CONDITIONS.
MUST BE WILLING TO RELOCATE...
They are the men and women who are building the future. The beamjacks. The zero-gee construction workers hired to assemble gigantic satellites in the vacuum of space.
On the job, a moment's carelessness can lead to catastrophe. But the hardest part comes when the working day is over: boredom, homesickness, and the painful memories of the Earth they've left behind.
Management and the military think they have the beamjacks under control.
They're wrong.
