Light Speed: Ultimate Destiny

by Paul D. Harrington

Bill Gates and Paul Allen, in the twentieth century, built a new technology that would change the world. In the twenty-first century, two young entrepreneurs, Kenneth Shepherd and Bernard Rush, form a space company in New Boston, Massachusetts, to exploit the riches of the asteroid belt. In a bitter disagreement, Bernard leaves Shepherd Industries to start his own competing company. After five decades of fierce competition, Shepherd Industries discovers faster-than-light travel, an achievement that Bernard Rush wants to claim for himself. He resorts to espionage, kidnapping, and even murder to get what he wants. But when Rush kidnaps the girlfriend of the new captain of the Star Ship Destiny, Captain John Burke isn't about to let Rush win this time.

Excellent read. I think the second and third books will be better. I thought that the flow of the writing will smooth out by then. It had a decent plot and stuck with it all the way to the end. None of that twisty-turny stuff just good ol' scifi - and maybe just a little romance.

Now to find those next books...
