2097. Phosphate peak on overpopulated earth has jacked up food prices. The European Union threatens to invade Morocco in an attempt to break their monopoly on phosphate extraction. For Michael Vahlroos, CEO of V-Space, the EU would not have to threaten military force if the United Nations legal framework had encouraged the mining of extraterrestrial resources. Meanwhile, the World's Agency for the Regulation of Space Exploration and Colonization (WARSEC) is under pressure to organize a first journey to Alpha Centauri to demonstrate their interstellar capability. Its director, UN diplomat Ralf Åhman, is faced with a dilemma: to follow his moral principles or finance his venture by partnering with the European Air Force, which is about to bomb Morocco. EXHIBITION (2097-2100) is the third book of the WARSEC Interstellar Series, a race to the stars between private corporations and the United Nations Organization. It is a grounded space odyssey for readers interested in geopolitics, science and the future of mankind.

2094. The successful testing of the Alcubierre metric makes faster-than-light travel possible. For Michael Vahlroos, CEO of V-Space, this is the start of a new era. Not only will his company be able to sell new spaceships, but it will also spearhead the exploitation of extraterrestrial resources, a must to ensure welfare to our overpopulated earth. Private corporations are the right players to boldly do what no-one has done before.For UN diplomat Ralf Åhman, however, the added value of private corporations in space is overrated. Has not the failure of the Martian colony been caused by a greedy entrepreneur, leaving the last Martian survivor on her own? Space has to be better regulated. REGULATION (2094-2095) is the first book of the WARSEC series, a race to the stars between private corporations and the United Nations organization. It is a grounded space odyssey for readers interested in geopolitics, science, and the future of mankind.
