\\nAn international space race ensues when an asteroid containing enough precious metals to shift the balance of power on Earth is detected on a path through our solar system. When the U.S. Team arrives on the asteroid, they discover the remains of an abandoned alien mining camp. But when the U.S. ship is sabotaged and crew members go missing, it becomes clear they\'re not alone on the asteroid. Stranded, the remaining crew members must band together to survive the monstrous inhabitants on the asteroid, find a way off the rock and save Earth which now sits directly in the path of destruction. In the process, they discover a deep dark secret contained within the asteroid. It holds the key to both their destruction and to their salvation. But unearthing it will change the fate of humanity forever.

TRADE PAPERBACK REVIEW\\n
\\nCorrective Measures from Arcana Studio\\n
\\nLess than 30 miles off the coast of Florida is an island. And if you\'re one of the few that get to see it... it\'s likely you will never leave. This is San Tiburon. Home to beautiful white sandy shores, crystal-blue waters... and the world\'s most dangerous maximum-security penitentiary. For 185 of the world\'s most dangerous super-powered criminals, it is their final home. They will reside within these walls until their sentence is served... or they meet their end. There are no escapes. There are no bargains or compromises. There is only San Tiburon.
