Asteria by David Collins

With the Earth on the brink of complete annihilation, Carla joins a group of engineers and builder-robots in a race to complete the lunar colony of Asteria. Unwittingly, she unveils a dark secret that threatens not only to cause yet more civil unrest and test the morals of society back on Earth, but also threatens the continuation of the human species itself. Set in the year 2069 where the world is ravaged by wars, famine and disease, and ruled by a psychopathic tyrant; can a small group of engineers and scientists pull the Earth back from the brink to ensure the continuation of the human race?
