Chapter 1 That'll Do
Torrance, an engineer from the Ark ship, Tamerlaine, is stealing supplies and selling them on the black market right under the snout of an unlikely detective.
Ninety-Nine Percent Workable
Jurgen Barrendown held off before putting in an appearance. Cognac, drugs and a girl named Marietta ensured he wasn’t idle. After which he paid her off and had security escort her off the ship. She wasn’t on the guest list, after all.
They cheered him when he made his entrance. Thirty-nine of the most influential people in the world.

And, amongst them, Jurgen himself, whose fortune had built this greatest of Arks, the Fortunate Son. The jeweled throne from which he would steer humanity away from a dying Earth.
He took a champagne glass from the robot waiter gliding past and acknowledged the handshake of a pharmaceuticals magnate. He thought of Marietta, clutching her coat against the acrid rain as they hustled her out of the hatch. Her account topped up with credit that was meaningless, because the only worthwhile currency was being able to get off the planet.
