Description ▲
NOTHING SEEMS RIGHT~NEAR THE SPEED OF LIGHT Not since the grim and relentless Alien has a ship this far from home been in so much trouble. Engineering Officers Ridge and Brenna are among six highly skilled technicians on a routine, two-year interplanetary hop from Earth to Neptune and back. The Colfirio Lines Solar Ship SS Neptune Express carries tons of cargo, and a thousand deep-sleeping settlers, for the colonies orbiting Triton. In the tradition of Ridley Scott’s film Alien, the engineers awake to a routine day, eating breakfast, exercising, reading, making conversation, and composing video mails home. Life in WorkPod01 seems normal, just as it was yesterday, and as it should be tomorrow. Once Ridge and Brenna and their companions open the hatch into the great ship, things go from terrible to worse as the minutes and hours go by. As they fight for survival, they realize more and more that nothing is what it should be…including themselves. Even as they stave off terrifying Mudmen or Cleaners, they begin to fight for truth and sanity. Nebula Express is a hell ride like nothing you can Imagine. Your worst nightmare is not the trash of discarded body parts trying to kill you. The worst part is what lurks in your heart and in the recesses of your brain. Ridge and Brenna fight for survival, for sanity—and for something more: Love, dignity, a future. Brenna and Ridge are drawn to each other like two shadowy swimmers lost at sea, reaching out in the dark and eternal cold. To achieve those things, they must find the most secret and wonderful place in the ship: a place called Largo. Welcome aboard Nebula Express. The survival of mankind hangs by a thread—but, for each of the travelers, it’s also very personal. It's the most terrifying ride each will ever take, if they survive, and the death rate is very high a million million light years from home. For the reader, it’s the most terrifying book in years.
