What would you do if the foundations of an entire civilisation were built on a secret?
Ryan is an engineer who knows how to build things. He never expected to become involved in a mystery that reaches from a construction site on a distant colony to the highest levels of power in the galaxy.
When a mysterious phone is discovered hidden inside concrete, Ryan is drawn into a chain of events involving Big Concrete, one of the most powerful organisations in human space. What begins as an industrial mystery soon reveals missing cargo, corporate intrigue, political manipulation and secrets surrounding the succession of an empire.
As Ryan travels between construction sites, spacecraft and the corridors of power, he discovers that Big Concrete is far more than a construction company. It controls ships, resources, colonies and the livelihoods of millions of people.
Along the way, Ryan finds himself caught between powerful personalities, dangerous enemies and people he cannot easily trust. Johnny, Angelo, Messalina and Ryan each have their own ideas about who should control the future-and what that control should cost.
But power has consequences.
When the struggle for control threatens to turn an entire civilisation into the possession of one person, Ryan must decide what responsibility really means.
Because building an empire is easy.
Building one that belongs to everyone is much harder.
SPACE CONCRETERS is a science-fiction adventure combining space exploration, engineering, corporate intrigue, mystery, political conflict, romance and betrayal.
