Tracer

Description

IN SPACE EVERY. SECOND. COUNTS. Our planet is in ruins. Three hundred miles above its scarred surface orbits Outer Earth: a space station with a million souls on board. They are all that remain of the human race. Darnell is the head of the station's biotech lab. He's also a man with dark secrets. And he has ambitions for Outer Earth that no one will see coming. Prakesh is a scientist, and he has no idea what his boss Darnell is capable of. He'll have to move fast if he doesn't want to end up dead. And then there's Riley. She's a tracer - a courier. For her, speed is everything. But with her latest cargo, she's taken on more than she bargained for. A chilling conspiracy connects them all. The countdown has begun for Outer Earth - and for mankind.

A promising debut, I think Rob Boffard is an author to watch * CIVILIAN READER * Riley Hale battles to save the last remnants of humanity in the claustrophobic, brilliantly evoked world of a crumbling space station where danger lies around every corner.

This is not an easy novel to put down, the space station dramatically imagined, and I look forward to seeing where we are taken next. * FOR WINTER NIGHTS * I absolutely loved this book.
