Book excerpt: Within weeks of putting his outpost in space into geosynchronous orbit, Tom got it into his mind to build a bigger station farther out in an orbit where it will be safe from space debris and where he can have much more room for everything he hopes to accomplish in space. A combination of attacks and events on him and his company make it look like a necessity and much sooner than he would have imagined. But what can he do to get around the logistical nightmare such an undertaking will bring? An elevator from the ground straight up into space has been a dream of writers and engineers for more than a century. Tom puts development of a space elevator on the front burner at Swift Enterprises. His only hope is that it is actually possible.
