Asteroid mining promises untold riches for those willing to take the risks...but, in the race to gain first-mover advantage, the price of failure can be severe.

This prescient novel will appeal to readers fascinated by recent developments with NASA, SpaceX, Rocket Lab, AstroForge, and other space industry ventures.

DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, October 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Just a few weeks after civilian astronauts took a historic, altitude record-breaking spacewalk and only days after SpaceX amazingly landed a rocket back on Earth -- as we gaze through telescopes aiming to glimpse our planet’s temporary second moon, which is actually the schoolbus-sized Asteroid 2024 PT5 -- award-winning visual effects veteran and writer-director Alan Chan debuts his science fiction thriller, ABUNDANCE, which relates to all of those extraordinary phenomena.

After working on multiple Clio Award-winning advertising campaigns and Academy Award-winning films such as Titanic, Lord of the Rings, and Alice in Wonderland, Chan has now ventured into the world of fiction with his debut novel, ABUNDANCE. An Amazon bestseller the day it launched, ABUNDANCE is available in hardcover, paperback, and as an eBook available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and wherever books are sold.

ABUNDANCE offers readers a glimpse into the messy near-future world of commercial space exploration and militarization, emergent Generative Artificial Intelligence, and frighteningly realistic geopolitical intrigue. This prescient novel is sure to be of interest to anyone who is fascinated by recent developments with NASA, SpaceX, Rocket Lab, and the prospect of asteroid mining for gold and other precious minerals.

Of his transition from film to fiction, Chan says, "As a visual storyteller, I have always been drawn to the power of words and the ability to transport readers to different worlds.
