Fate of a Distant Future - Renato Clarete Tranquilino - Bookniverse

What does a senator targeted for assassination, a cargo pilot turned space pirate, a captain of a one-way colonization trip against all human government in the solar system, and a university lecturer that would revolutionize space travel have in common? Four stories in four different generations, loosely connected, that trace southeast Asian characters that would contribute to their country’s evolution into a planet colonizing powerhouse.
