About this series
The second story in the Belter Series
All Adam wanted was his advanced degree and a girlfriend. What he got was betrayal, kicked out of University, and exiled to the Asteroid Belt. Through a series of mishaps, he became a successful pirate.
When the oppressive North American Dictatorship retaliates, Adam is thrust into a leadership role in the Belter's struggle for independence.
He must reach deep to find the strength to meet the immense challenge.
His physics background and natural inventiveness play a large part in equalizing the disparity in force strength. He adapts discovered alien technology in weaponry and space drives, providing the Belters with a minimal advantage. He is a quick learner and becomes surprisingly adept in space warfare.
His girlfriend, Nile, plays an increasingly important part in his plans and in his heart. She mysteriously disappears with a Marine team member, and Adam is left wondering if she's taken up with the man, particularly since she admitted to having had a relationship with him.
What happens next is told in the story of the Belter's Revolutionary War for Independence. The story chronicles a wild conflict around the solar system, providing entertainment, adventure, humor, tragedy, and romance set against the broad background of the asteroid belt and interplanetary space.

All Adam wanted was his advanced degree and a girlfriend. What he got was betrayal, kicked out of University, and exiled to the Asteroid Belt. The Asteroid Miners have just about had their fill of the oppressive Federal bureaucracy, and some of them are ready to take steps towards freedom. Adam arrives just in time to find himself involved with a budding revolution. Unfortunately, he had been working on a physics degree, and it wasn't as if there was a course of study on Practical Pirating offered at the University. How does one become a pirate? Adam is about to figure it out. This story is set against the background of the asteroid belt and filled with a mixture of existing technology and new inventions. It is a near future, wild and woolly journey around the solar system that provides what every reader wants: entertainment, adventure, humor, tragedy, and a little romance.

E. S. Martell
Eric S. Martell set out to become a scientist when he was five. He has a Ph.D. in psychology. He taught himself programming and spent years in software design, creating everything from early childhood learning software to military training modules. His primary personality flaw involves being interested in a multiplicity of subjects. As a result, he learned energy healing, makes a living investing in and selling real estate, and is a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, an airplane pilot, a scuba diver, guitar player, outdoorsman, and naturalist. He admits to being addicted to both science and science fiction. He researches all of his books and works to offer believable science with compelling characters and realistic action. His science fiction books cover a trilogy based on an alien invasion apocalypse, possible interplanetary political structure, space travel, advanced weapons, quantum physics, hunting, war, romance, time travel, and strange worlds. His short stories are found in several anthologies, but he specializes in full-length science fiction novels. His creative process involves asking questions, such as what would happen if the Earth passed through an interstellar dust cloud that contained mRNA? That led to his 2020 novel, DUSTFALL. That story involves a young man meeting an attractive girl at a time when most humans have become flesh-craving mutants. The falling dust has released the inner monsters in Earth's life forms, but the real mystery is the identity of the most dangerous mutant of all. The Florida Authors and Publishers Association has awarded three of his novels (Dustfall, Cyber-Witch, and Pirates of the Asteroids) their coveted President's award. His primary writing goal is to provide readers with gripping stories they cannot put down. He encourages inquiries and takes reader suggestions seriously.
