Colony - Paperback

by Daniel Erbach (Author)

The long-held dream of space exploration turns into a boondoggle of corruption and cost- the madness of colonizing the Moon is covered by slick marketing and promotion. The enormous costs of building a functioning lunar colony are too much to bear- yielding a backlash and harsh consequences. To make it viable, the Earth must pay handsomely. Sooner or later, it becomes too much to pay and resentment rules the day.Daniel Erbach draws from a long construction career during which he worked in many austere and complex environments. He learned by hard experience that schedule and budget are pitiless, and clients can be fractious. He pours this experience into his vision of the grandest construction project of the 21st century.
