But humans will be human, on Earth or in the heavens--so amidst the idealism permeating Space Habitat Goddard are many individuals with long-term schemes, each awaiting the tight moment. And hidden from them is the greatest secret of all, the real purpose of this expedition, known to only a few.... Grand Tour Series 1. Mars 2. Empire Builders 3. Moonrise 4. Moonwar 5.
