520    "Imperium is the most expensive structure ever created. 
       Once an orbiting laboratory, it is now a space hotel for 
       the fantastically wealthy. But as the station preps for 
       its first group of space tourists, Dr. Chloe Bonilla, 
       Imperium's resident biophysicist, finds herself 
       questioning whether babysitting a passel of space glampers
       is worth the distraction from her research. A private 
       rocket delivers a rogues' gallery of the world's elite to 
       Imperium: eccentric billionaires, callow tech bros, a 
       sponsored Instagram influencer, and a seemingly saintly 
       philanthropist. However, posing among the staff are 
       members of a global terrorist group who call themselves 
       the Reckoners, hell bent on upending the economic 
       inequality of twenty-first-century Earth—and they have a 
       bone to pick with these scions of the 1 percent.  As the 
       Reckoners take control of Imperium and demand an $8 
       billion ransom from their wealthy hostages, it's up to Dr.
       Bonilla to save them, and fast. Or the captives will be 
       forced to exit the station—and there's only one way out"--
