The Helium-3 Arbitration
A First Contact Legal Thriller

About this book:

In the crushing depths of a gas giant, an alien intelligence speaks in pressure waves and fusion currents—and it just retained counsel.

Senior Arbitrator Samuel Reed has twelve days to broker a binding treaty with a species that doesn't recognize borders, contracts, or the concept of property. His client: a planetary consciousness the size of a solar system. His opposition: a corporate fleet armed with harvesters, lobbyists, and a legal framework designed to erase inconvenient sentience. If Sam fails, the Helium-3 in Geryon's atmosphere will power Earth for centuries—and the sky will fall silent forever.

*The Helium-3 Arbitration* is a first contact thriller where the battlefield is a courtroom, the evidence is atmospheric physics, and the only thing more dangerous than the corporate warships bearing down on orbit is the precedent Sam must set to save a civilization that breathes in hurricanes.
