The Belter Revolution - Eric Martell

All Adam wanted was his advanced degree and a girlfriend. What he got was betrayal, kicked out of University, and exiled to the Asteroid Belt. Through a series of mishaps, he became a successful pirate.

When the oppressive North American Dictatorship retaliates, Adam is thrust into a leadership role in the Belter’s struggle for independence.

He must reach deep to find the strength to meet the immense challenge.

His physics background and natural inventiveness play a large part in equalizing the disparity in force strength. He adapts discovered alien technology in weaponry and space drives, providing the Belters with a minimal advantage. He is a quick learner and becomes surprisingly adept in space warfare.

His girlfriend, Nile, plays an increasingly important part in his plans and in his heart. She mysteriously disappears with a Marine team member, and Adam is left wondering if she’s taken up with the man, particularly since she admitted to having had a relationship with him.

What happens next is told in the story of the Belter’s Revolutionary War for Independence. The story chronicles a wild conflict around the solar system, providing entertainment, adventure, humor, tragedy, and romance set against the broad background of the asteroid belt and interplanetary space.
