Just Whose Ball Is It Anyway: Book Four - Cambridge Annex - Cambridge Annex Peter Damon

Fourteen years have passed since the crew of Freedom One returned to earth orbit with their prize of metal-bearing asteroids. Yet the conflict with earth nations continues, a constantly irritated wound that will never heal while they retain the secret to their gravitational propulsion system. Now branded the Space Confederation, even their name is a source of argument within the United Nations. As is their development of a farm on Mars. Then there are the millions of people on earth afraid that each instantaneous trip of their probe to a distant part of the galaxy will alert aliens to their presence and bring an invasion. They can't do anything right, so they keep their development of a completely limitless quantum computer a complete secret. However, there are powers on earth that have had enough of the standoff. It's time the space-goers were brought to heel. It's time one nation showed the others what was needed and exerted some power over the space-going bunch of gypsies and university students. They have no idea what they will unleash in doing so.
