Operation Misfit

In a 21st century controlled by the Thought Control Board, Rod Garvin's rebellious nature lands him a one-way trip to Mars. This 'suicide job' becomes his chance for a dreamed-of voyage into deep space. However, when his ship discovers an asteroid inhabited by an ancient, star-faring race and immense mineral wealth, Garvin's find could change Earth's future—if the Thought Control Board doesn't eliminate him first.
