1 – The Revolution from Rosinante:
The reluctant revolutionary! Charles Cantrell thought he had enough headaches as project manager of a crew building a habitat on the asteroid, Rosinante. Then some dunderheaded politician back on Earth shipped several thousand perfectly innocent political prisoners to Rosinante to escape embarrassment. Suddenly, Charles found the habitat transformed from an engineering project to a colony – and he was in charge! Every one of the new arrivals had an axe to grind, and Charles seemed to be the whetstone they liked to grind their blades on. Then Earth decided it wanted several of the prisoners back, and Charles refused to surrender them. Now Earth’s space navy is on its way to seize control of the asteroid. To preserve his own freedom, and that of everyone now on Rosinante, Charles is forced to turn revolutionary. But how can one small group stranded on a tiny worldlet billions of miles from anywhere possibly resist the military might of Terra?
2 – Long Shot for Rosinante:
And then there was one…
Between Mars and Jupiter a pair of asteroids orbited. In better times three self-contained space colonies were planned to accompany them: Sancho Panza, Don Quixote, and Rosinante.
But, after the Crash of 2039, Project Sancho Panza was cancelled, and Mundito Don Quixote was trashed by unpaid union workers left holding a grudge. Then, just when it seemed Mundito Rosinante would survive a few years at least, someone launched an unstoppable missile at it from near-Earth orbit!
This was the third hostile act aimed at Rosinante. To save his home and his people, Charles Cantrell – governor of the newly independent colony – would have to discover whose hit list they were on. And why.
3 – Pirates of Rosinante:
Hostile space navies, revolt in the ranks, scheming robots are only the beginning of Rosinante’s governor Charles Cantrell’s problems. As Rosinante, former space colony, now an independent worldlet, orbits further from Earth Cantrell’s problems aren’t getting better, they’re getting worse! Caught in the middle of an outer space conflict between the U. S. and Japan, the lives of everyone living in the fragile habitat of Rosinante is vulnerable to bombs, missiles and sabotage. Betrayed from within, schemed against from without, Cantrell would have to act fast and think faster if he was to save Rosinante and protect its inhabitants. The only thing the hapless governor had going for him was that the robots believed Cantrell had God on his side!
