Synopsis
"Nothing seems right
Near the speed of light"
Ridge and Brenna are among the engineers awakening in WorkPod01 for their regular day's work. The interplanetary cargo vessel is on a routine run between Earth and Neptune. Her name is Neptune Express. Not since Ridley Scott's grim and relentless Alien has a ship been in this much trouble so far from home.
From the moment Ridge and his companions leave the safety of their work pod to begin repairing some minor meteorite damage, they begin understanding that nothing about the world as they have known it is true.
Ridge has a wife and kids in San Diego. Brenna is an American, with a fabulously wealthy husband and children in Buenos Aires. Each of the other engineers has family somewhere on Earth, and they look forward to completing their two-year mission and returning home.
As the horrifying truth about the ship begins to reveal itself, complete with the deadly terror that infests its corridors, it becomes increasingly clear that going home may not be an option. The reasons are to be found in the pages of this book. Nothing is what it seems. Absolutely nothing. That's just the beginning of the nightmare...
Twist upon twist of horrific surprise thrills drilling a corkscrew of mounting tension. The terror is both physical and psychological in a nonstop, multi-layered thriller that Henry James might have co-authored with Ridley Scott if this were the age of H.G. Wells and A. Conan Doyle.
