In the early days of the Aristillus moon colony a lone geologist uses a small inheritance to do what the universities and government won't - fund basic research. Alone on the north face of the central peak in the Aristillus crater, equipped with just a small rover, a Quonset hut, and a small research lab, he finds pyrite - fool's gold. Except - perhaps it's not what he assumes after all.

Of what use money to someone who cares about science, not lucre?

In an anarcho-capitalist border town on the moon with no police and no courts, who enforces property rights?

Will Mike ever stop Darcy from whimsical purchases?

From the two time PROMETHEUS AWARD WINNER Travis Corcoran (Best Novel 2018, Best Novel 2019), a prequel story set in the Aristillus universe.
