In the early 2020s, two young, genius computer hackers, Elizabeth Santiago and David Schwartz, meet at MIT, where Schwartz is sneaking into classes, and have a brief affair. David is amoral and away for himself and soon disappears. Elizabeth dreams of technology and space travel and takes a military job after graduating. Nearly 10 years later, David is establishing himself up to become billionaire by working in the shadows under a multiplicity of brands for international thieves, and Elizabeth works in intellect, protecting against international space piracy. With robotic mining in space learning to be a rewarding part of Earth's overall economy, shipments from space are dropped down the gravity well in to the oceans. David and Elizabeth attack for dominance of the personal computers managing ore drop placement in international waters. If David can nudge a delivery 500 mls off its target, his employers can make it happen first and say it legally in the wild sea. Each one intuits that the other is their real competition but can't demonstrate it. So when Elizabeth loses a significant delivery, she leaves federal employ to help a private space company to find an improved way to protect shipments. But international piracy has very high stakes plus some very evil players. And both Elizabeth and David wrap up in a world of trouble. Space pirates and computer hackers...Adam L. Cambias' Corsair is a thrilling near-future adventure!
