Radiance - Rick Chambers

The future of the human race depends on ten specially gifted people-but nobody knows who they are.

In the twilight of the 21st century, humanity seeks salvation from despair. Entrepreneur Eris Lateinos promises to create a happier, more prosperous new era with a plan to ferry resource rich asteroids into Earth orbit.

Tristan West, Lateinos' embittered ex-PR man, suspects that the price of the era is far too steep. His suspicions put him at odds with the most powerful man in the galaxy and plunge him into a conspiracy that will determine the destiny of two worlds.

For West, discovering the truth requires an unlikely alliance with a zealous missionary and two mysterious strangers who harbor incredible secrets of their own. But all of them share the same goal-find the ten people who possess the Radiance before their lives, and the last hope for humanity, are destroyed.
