Quicksilver's Tower first emerges in Morning Star as the clandestine nerve-center of the richest man in the Solar System, a floating fortress of glass and gravitics that conceals both his financial empire and the nascent Sons of Ares rebellion. Over the course of the book it transforms from a symbol of untouchable wealth into a battleground where alliances are forged, secrets are traded, and the fate of the Rising is decided. By the novel’s climax the Tower has become the literal and figurative high ground from which the new order will be launched.
