I had been a gamer before my hospital stay but hadn’t kept up with modern consoles. In 2009 I got out of the hospital after a short stay and was told by my doctors that my recovery would be “timely.” I was instructed to pick up some sedentary hobbies to keep me occupied while my body healed.Īt that point in my life, I was reading like a maniac, devouring every Star Wars novel on the planet, but I figured I would need something more engaging than books to keep me sane for the foreseeable future.

This tense sprint through a future dominated by profit-driven amorality makes for a gripping, cinematic sci-fi thriller that readers won’t want to put down. Hester is a fascinating, troubled, but not overly dour narrator, who must use her wits and past experiences-which are teased out in flashbacks-to solve the murder and stay alive. Remarkably, most of the action takes place in just 24 hours, the mystery unraveling at warp speed as the violence escalates and the stakes steadily mount. Hester’s investigation leads to a claustrophobic mining base, where she finds herself trapped with the murderer. She plans to keep her head down, work off her debt, and return home to Earth-but that plan is derailed when David Prussenko, a colleague from her past, is killed just hours after sending her an enigmatic message. After a terrorist attack against the spaceship transporting workers on the Titan Research Project leaves scientist Hester Marley with two metal limbs and a suffocating amount of medical debt, Hester finds work as a Safety Officer for Parthenope Enterprises, a powerful corporation in the asteroid belt. With propulsive action and twists that keep the reader guessing, Wallace’s page-turning sophomore novel (after Salvation Day) spins a locked-room mystery set on an asteroid mining colony.
