Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
On Inauguration Day, newly elected President Stephen Blades hoped to tacklethe most critical issues facing the nation: war, the economy, and a failinghealth care system. But in a letter penned by the outgoing President, Bladeslearns the truth that redefines "critical": seven years ago, NASA discovered analien presence in the asteroid belt, and kept it a secret from the world. Astealth mission crewed by nine astronauts was sent to make contact, and they'regetting close -- assuming they survive the long journey to reach theirdestination. Today, President-elect Blades has become the most powerful man onthe planet. This planet!
On his first day in office, newly-elected President Stephen Blades was expecting to dive into the various critical issues facing the nation: war, looming economic collapse, and a failing health care system - a typical Presidency, in other words. But by the end of that first day, Blades has learned a single truth that redefines "critical": seven years prior, NASA discovered a potentially aggressive alien presence in the asteroid belt, and his predecessor Commander-in-Chief decided to keep it a secret from the world. A mission crewed by nine heroic astronauts was sent to discover what's actually up there, and they're getting close to learning the truth - assuming their increasingly damaged and frail ship, the Clarke, can hold itself together long enough to reach their destination. Stephen Blades has just become the most powerful man on the planet. This planet.
