A Geopolitical Thriller of the New Space Race
By Daniel Rothwell
The next world war won't be fought on Earth.
It will be fought for it.
In the near future, Earth's energy crisis reaches a breaking point. The solution lies millions of miles away-buried deep within a massive asteroid rich in helium-3, the rare isotope capable of powering civilization for centuries.
But whoever controls the asteroid controls the future.
When a classified extraction mission uncovers something far more valuable than energy, the world's superpowers ignite a silent war in orbit. Covert spacecraft shadow each other in deep space. Military satellites lock targets. Governments deny everything.
At the center of it all is The Regolith Protocol-a secret directive that could either secure humanity's survival... or trigger global collapse.
As rival nations race to claim the asteroid, alliances fracture, espionage intensifies, and one miscalculation could send debris raining toward Earth. In the vacuum of space, there are no borders-only power.
Blending hard science fiction with razor-sharp geopolitical tension, The Regolith Protocol delivers:
High-stakes asteroid mining conflict
Realistic near-future space technology
International political power struggles
Military space warfare
Corporate espionage beyond Earth
Perfect for readers who love technothrillers, military sci-fi, and political thrillers set in space, this gripping novel explores the terrifying reality of the new space race-where the battlefield is orbit, and the prize is humanity's destiny.
Because in space, the rules of Earth no longer apply.
