Humanity has learned to count by stars, but can it learn to count by love In 2149, Captain Miriam Hale and the crew of the Eben-7 are sent to tame the Choir, a cluster of asteroids drifting toward Earth. What begins as an engineering problem becomes a test of the soul when a hidden saboteur, corporate rivals, and a mountain of stone called Goliath threaten to turn the heavens into a weapon. Out among thorns of drifting rock and failing radios, the crew finds a different language. A simple psalm steadies their hands. Honest measures expose quiet corruption. Courage looks like small obediences, the kind that save lives before anyone notices. As siege lines tighten and a desperate mission demands a cost no one wants to pay, Miriam must hold the lanes, tell the truth in the clear, and choose love as the order of things. From shipboard chapel to covenant table, from the hush of prayer to the roar of engines, their fight becomes a witness that mercy can move stone. Asteroid Siege is a sweeping Christian space opera of faith under pressure, found family, and sacrificial hope. Perfect for readers who love Becky Chambers' wonder, Lois McMaster Bujold's heart, and the quiet strength of classic Christian fiction. The stars are listening. Speak peace to the stones. About the Author Dr. David K. Ewen is an ordained minister whose life and calling have been deeply shaped by faith, education, and a lifelong fascination with the heavens. As a child, he stood among millions who watched history unfold in 1969, when humanity first set foot on the Moon. A few years later, with wonder in his eyes and a telescope in hand, he tracked America's first space station, Skylab, as it sailed across the night sky. Those moments sparked a passion that has never faded-a passion for both the mysteries of creation and the God who made them. Dr. Ewen's journey has been one of teaching and ministry, guiding others to wisdom, truth, and grace. His work in education has touched lives around the world, while his ministry has sought to bring light to those walking through life's deepest questions. His name even journeys beyond Earth, etched into history on a silicon chip aboard NASA's Perseverance rover, which launched in 2020 and touched down in Jezero Crater on Mars in 2021. With this book, Dr. Ewen unites his lifelong love of space exploration with his devotion to sharing the message of hope, redemption, and the abiding presence of God. His voice as both minister and storyteller invites readers not only to dream of the stars but also to see in them the reflection of a Creator who calls each of us by name.
