Winner of the Locus Award: Space-station workers discover a shocking global surveillance plot in this novel from “the master of science-fiction intrigue” (The Washington Post). Popeye Hooker knows that space isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. A former fisherman who takes a job building low orbital stations to escape a failed relationship, he finds that in space, construction work is still a grind. And when they aren’t building the space stations that will usher humanity into the stars, Sam Sloane and the rest of the beamjacks get high, blast the Grateful Dead, and stare through telescopes at the world they left behind. But life in orbit is about to get much more interesting. Nestled among the life support equipment that keeps them alive and the entertainment systems that keep them happy, the beamjacks find something astonishing. Turns out, their home isn’t just a space station—it’s a giant antenna designed to spy on every inhabitant of Earth. It’s the greatest privacy invasion ever perpetrated, and the beamjacks won’t stand for it. They may not be pioneers, but these roughnecks are about to become revolutionaries. Timely—and with Orwellian undertones, Allen Steele’s debut won the Locus Award for Best First Novel. Perfect for fans of Robert Heinlein, Robert J. Sawyer, and Greg Bear, Orbital Decay blends fantasy and science fiction with a prescient attention paid to the dangers of government surveillance.

Reminder: science and magic don't mix. If anyone were ever to forget that magic can disrupt science and technological equipment, they need only refer to the incident at Mobile Mining Station YF-77. That poor, unfortunate station had a wizard for a guest, and that wizard lost control of his magical powers while the mining station was moving to a new drilling site. Bereft of attitude control, the station fell out of stable orbit on a collision course for a deserted, lifeless planet. The crew of the starship Mobius would like everyone to know that they had nothing at all to do with this incident. They had no knowledge of any magical anomaly. They certainly didn't cause it. And they most definitely did not plan to interfere with a team of Convocation investigators, rescue a fugitive from justice, or cause all the steel surfaces on the station to turn rubbery. That was some other ship. Moral and Orbital Decay is the fourteenth mission of Black Ocean, a science fantasy series set in the 26th century. Do you wish there had been a second season of Firefly? Do you love the irreverent fun of Guardians of the Galaxy? Have you ever wondered how Star Wars would have turned out if Luke and Obi-wan had ditched the rebellion to become smugglers with Han and Chewie? Then Black Ocean is the series for you! Pick up your copy of Moral and Orbital Decay, and aim to misbehave with the crew of the Mobius.

We summarize our results, so far, in the search for orbital decay in exoplanets. Orbital decay is the gradual shrinkage of the planetary orbit due to tidal dissipation. We ranked currently known exoplanetary systems according to the theoretical orbital decay rate and trimmed the list down to 12 best targets. We collected new transit light curves for the targets visible in the northern hemisphere using the 1.2 m telescope at the Fred L. Whipple Observatory, Arizona. For the southern targets, we are currently collaborating with the Las Cumbres Observatory Telescope Network to obtain new transits. We analyzed the timing residuals for each target, seeking evidence for any change in the orbital period. Currently, the best candidate for orbital decay is WASP-12 b with an observed period derivative ... . However, we find that a few other possible models, including apsidal precession, nodal precession and color-dependent transit times, cannot be ruled out completely. Continous monitoring of WASP-12 b is necessary in the future to resolve the current conundrum. The search for orbital decay is still in its infancy for most other targets. However, we aim to produce a few transit times for each target to serve as an "anchor" for when TESS relays back more high quality light curves.
