When I first read the synopsis of the book it seemed very promising and I was very excited to receive it and read it but when I actually got it I just couldn’t get past the third chapter :(. It seems like a really cool book and the writing is good too which is sometimes hard to find now and days. Maybe it’s just the genre that’s not right for me but I’m very upset about it because I really anticipated it and I’m disappointed mainly in myself for not being able to push through and read it but I feel like if I did that I would just hate the book. But here’s the blurb in case anyone is reading this and wants to know what it’s about:
2199. Deep-space exploration is a reality and teleportation is routine. But this time something seems to have gone very, very wrong. Seventeen-year-old Jessica Mathers wakes up in a lander that’s crashed onto the surface of Carver 1061c, a desolate, post-extinction planet fourteen light-years from Earth. The planet she was supposed to be viewing from a ship orbiting far above.
The corridors of the empty lander are covered in bloody hand prints; the machines are silent and dark. And outside, in the alien dirt, there are fresh graves carefully marked with names she doesn’t recognize. Now Jessica must unravel the mystery of the destruction all around her—and the questionable intentions of a familiar stranger.
Self-determination and survival collide in this haunting, pulse-pounding science fiction novel from Edgar Award–winning author Matthew J. Kirby that spans both space and time.
