About the Book

After a half-century hiatus, humanity is gearing up for true space exploration once more, but this time it won't only be nation-states taking part. Delta-v tells the story of a group of commercial space pioneers on a multi-year expedition to lift humanity from an Earth-bound species to a space-faring one. Much like the private explorers of earlier centuries whose voyages were financed by investors, these new adventurers gravitate toward risk -- ex-soldiers, former astronauts, cavers, salvage divers, base jumpers, and mountain climbers. As the second Age of Exploration begins, they intend to alter the trajectory of human civilization -- or die trying. The bestselling author of Daemon returns with a near-future technological thriller, in which a charismatic billionaire recruits a team of adventurers to launch the first deep space mining operation--a mission that could alter the trajectory of human civilization. When itinerant cave diver James Tighe receives an invitation to billionaire Nathan Joyce's private island, he thinks it must be a mistake. But Tighe's unique skill set makes him a prime candidate for Joyce's high-risk venture to mine a near-earth asteroid--with the goal of kick-starting an entire off-world economy. The potential rewards and personal risks are staggering, but the competition is fierce and the stakes couldn't be higher. Isolated and pushed beyond their breaking points, Tighe and his fellow twenty-first century adventurers--ex-soldiers, former astronauts, BASE jumpers, and mountain climbers--must rely on each other to survive not only the dangers of a multi-year expedition but the harsh realities of business in space. They're determined to transform humanity from an Earth-bound species to a space-faring one--or die trying.

Review :
*A Prometheus Award Best Novel Nominee*

“Daniel Suarez's hugely impressive Delta-v fuses the real world with sci-fi, giving the space genre a new boost and new hope.”
—Tom Shippey, The Wall Street Journal

"Daniel Suarez has slowly gotten quite a reputation as a master of high-tech, sci-fi thrillers. Not only is Delta-v no exception, it very well may be his finest work to date... Throughout his career, Suarez has found consistent comparison to the late, great Michael Crichton. I can assuredly support that he is in a very small group of current writers who can carry that weighty mantle forward."
BookReporter

"A gripping and realistic near-future thriller."
Booklist

“High finance and asteroid mining on the High Frontier—terrific!”
—Greg Bear, New York Times bestselling author

"Thoroughly researched and brilliantly written, Daniel Suarez integrates the technology, intrigue, chaos and the human drama of the next ‘giant leap’ with rare scientific and operational literacy. Haunting, bold and inspirational, this deep space tale resonates on every level. For me, a twenty-two year NASA veteran in direct mission support, Delta-v captures the very essence of exploration."
—James Logan, MD, former NASA Chief of Flight Medicine


More Praise for Daniel Suarez and His Novels

“Biopunk has been waiting for its William Gibson, to bring a whole new vision of the future as Mr. Gibson did for cyberpunk, and Daniel Suarez has done it. . . . Exhilarating, alarming—Daniel Suarez plays the two great thrills of sci-fi against each other, and not just for fun. He thinks this is coming, and he means it. Read it and wonder.”
The Wall Street Journal on Change Agent

"Terrifyingly plausible."
Time on Change Agent

“The depth and sophistication of Suarez’s dystopian world—not to mention his facility at making complex science intelligible to the nonexpert—rivals anything Michael Crichton ever did.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Change Agent

“The action scenes are plenty lively, [but] the best thing about the book is its depiction of a troublesome future in which people can change physical identities the way they change clothes. . . . A natural at making future shocks seem perfectly believable, Suarez delivers his most entertaining high-tech thriller yet.”
Kirkus Reviews on Change Agent

“The ultimate form of identity theft is just a genetic edit away in Suarez’s newest fast-paced, speculative thriller. . . . Offer this to Michael Crichton and science-fiction-suspense fans.”
