Lagrange 442 — William Tedford

Meet the Stangers, asteroid miners, Maxwell and Rachel, parents. Twelve-year-old Trudy, geneticist. Her twin, Tyler, computer and engineering genius. Sixteen-year-old Cheyenne whose world revolves around her forbidden lover, Jake. And her twin, Cody who is destined to inherit Stanger Mining. They all live together in Lagrange 442, a residence dug into the heart of a Trojan asteroid orbiting beyond Mars. Along comes a rogue asteroid from interstellar space that mysteriously alters course on its way into the solar system, triggering the curiosity of evil incarnate and claim jumper, Eric Tillman. A race is set into motion to lay claim to a entity that will engulf humanity in a cataclysm threatening to destroy two worlds, one of those not remotely human. If you have any animosity toward the twenty-third century, or the Stangers in particular, your curse should be the familiar, "May you live in interesting times," because Lagrange 442 is caught in very heart of it.
