Europan Reef Gold (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798869262264)

"Reef Gold"

Definition:

Gold still deposited within its original host rock.

Captain Maynard List got his payday. Finding a psychoactive coral reef was the one-in-a-billion jackpot that any man needed if he wanted to make it big in the cold, subterranean oceans of Europa. The crew of the Groundbreaker earned taxfree millions overnight.

But Europa has its own storm brewing, and Maynard finds himself in the sights of federal patrol vessels and pirate frigates, all while leviathans continue to prey on the strange titanium hulls that invaded their world.

Guns, heavy machinery, prospecting, and greed are back in style, and Maynard List is a man of the times. Things are rough on the frontier, and the massive influx of hallucinogenic coral is a change that Port Authority was not ready to adapt to.

That was fine by Maynard. Money was worth the chaos. No one lives forever.
