Uranus

In "Uranus," Ben Bova delves into the complex dynamics of a privately funded orbital habitat above the gas giant, where the clash between political idealism and illicit financing creates a tension-filled backdrop. At the heart of this struggle is Kyle Umber, a religious visionary who welcomes the downtrodden of Earth to his sanctuary, Haven, while a billionaire backer harbors ulterior motives that threaten to transform the refuge into a haven for vice. Meanwhile, a scientist funded by the Inner Planets seeks to launch probes into Uranus' mysterious depths for signs of life, bringing unwanted scrutiny and complications to the unfolding drama.
