The Cassiopeia Chronicles

Cassiopeia Chronicles Book Cover

This is a straight-up space opera set in our own solar system in the early 22nd Century, when being an asteroid hunter can be lucrative (with an emphasis on can) and Mars colonies are jostling for power. Oh, and, aliens. Themes include political intrigue, economics, spirituality, and first contact.

There is a sequel in the planning stages, about the war between Mars and Earth.
