An elevator that links the Earth to the Moon; A rare element that promises to solve all the world's energy problems; a secret society that has its own plans for both. This is the limit - how far would you go?

2025

The Chinese and the Americans are going head to head on the Moon for helium-3, the rare mineral which will solve all the Earth's energy needs. But not everyone is happy about helium-3: the oil industry is collapsing and entire corporations are going under. Someone has even tried to assassinate EMCO manager Gerald Palstein, who's trying to save the Canadian oil company by getting into the helium-3 business himself.

Billionaire Julian Orley's space-elevator technology has revolutionised space travel, but he's about to take another life-changing step. He has funded Gaia, the first hotel on the Moon, and his plan is to take a group of international investors up there and to use the trip to negotiate the finance for the construction of a second space elevator, to open up the universe to humanity.

Orley has no idea that one of his guests is pursuing his own dark plans - or that his fate is inextricably linked with the cyber-detective Owen Jericho, the dissident hacker Yoyo, the Canadian businessman Gerald Palstein - and a mysterious organization called Hydra, who have their own plans for the universe . . .
