The Man Who Staked the Stars

Bryce Carter has clawed his way from the rough streets of Thieves Row to the helm of Union Transport, the sprawling network that moves people and cargo across Earth, the Moon, and the asteroid belt. As the new director, he finds himself at the center of a high‑stakes meeting where executives suspect the corporation is being hijacked for illicit schemes that threaten the fragile trust the public places in their interplanetary lifeline.

A chance encounter on a Moon‑bound liner introduces a charismatic, young “witch doctor” who claims an unconventional therapeutic art, hinting at hidden forces at play in Bryce’s ascent. Their conversation hints at personal vendettas and secretive power plays, setting the stage for a daring confrontation that could reshape control of the solar system’s transport arteries. Listeners are drawn into a world of corporate intrigue, futuristic travel, and the uneasy balance between ambition and ethics.
