Eye of the Needle · A Paradisi Short

Everything comes at a cost...

No stranger to the dangers that come with his profession, space construction worker August Reach has no problems admitting he has had his fair share of trials. With the contract for Shigeru Nakata and the Founders' Mars Colonization firmly in hand, Gus is ready to settle into his new environment- managing on-orbit and on-ground projects.

But when orders force him to allow Yuai Nakata, his bosses daughter, to participate in the capture of a descending orbital cable, Gus realizes that keeping himself out of danger will be the least of his concerns. Torn between her insistence she accompany him and the sharp rise of complex feelings about the matter, Gus has no choice but to battle the merciless forces of nature to complete the project while keeping them both out of harm's way. But can he manage to keep everyone on his crew safe? Or will he have to face the biggest test he has ever endured?

Will Gus obey his boss and endanger Yuai Nakata? Or will he listen to his emotions and keep her safe, no matter the repercussions?

From science mastermind of Earth’s Last Gambit, Eye of the Needle is a brand new hard sci-fi adventure that will have you wanting more! If you like the work of Larry Niven or Allen Steele then you will love this new edition to Bill Patterson’s Paradisi Series!
