The
Halls of
Avienne
Asteroid-mining just got a whole lot more dangerous!

"We're going to need a bigger gun."

In deep space, the asteroid
243839-Avienne has lost communications. The four-person crew is missing. The huge, AI controlled robotic mining system - gone rogue?

Glamorous astro-mining engineer Devi Patel and her security specialist Rick Archer must fight for their lives as they try to unravel the mystery.

What are the violent machinations of the evil Charles Sauvage and his malevolent secret society leading up to?
Sydney author John Zakis has produced a science-fiction thriller with a scope as big as space itself. Set during the asteroid-mining Belt Gold Rush of the 2090s, The Halls of Avienne is a rollercoaster of suspense and high-calibre, hard-science action!

Amazon reviewers praise The Halls of Avienne:

"...Imagine the scientific plausibility of an author like Arthur C. Clarke, but with the action turned up to eleven. The attention to detail, whether technical or political, is is immensely satisfying..."

"...You leave off reading with that sense of having been on a marvelous journey that the classics of SF give. Highly recommended as a thundering good yarn..."
