Delta V by Daniel Suarez

In a near-future techno-thriller, a billionaire-backed startup assembles engineers, entrepreneurs and hardened specialists to mount the first private asteroid-mining mission to a near‑Earth object. Using innovative rockets, robotics and space systems, the team races to extract valuable metals while navigating technical obstacles, regulatory ambiguity, corporate espionage and outright sabotage; the story combines detailed hard‑science realism with high-stakes action and ethical questions about privatizing and exploiting space resources.
