Science Fiction
Published in rapid succession, Jason M. Houghβs first three novels, The Darwin Elevator, The Exodus Towers, and The Plague Forge, earned mountains of praise and comparisons to such authors as James S. A. Corey and John Scalzi. Now Hough returns with a riveting near-future spy thriller that combines the adrenaline of a high-octane James Bond adventure with mind-blowing sci-fi speculations worthy of Christopher Nolanβs Inception. Technologically enhanced superspy Peter Caswell has been dispatched on a top-secret assignment unlike any heβs ever faced. A spaceship that vanished years ago has been found, along with the bodies of its murdered crewβsave one. Peterβs mission is to find the missing crew member, who fled through what appears to be a tear in the fabric of space. Beyond this mysterious doorway lies an even more confounding reality: a world that seems to be Earthβs twin. Peter discovers that this mirrored world is indeed different from his home, and far more dangerous. Cut off from all support, and with only days to complete his operation, Peter must track his quarry alone on an alien world. But heβs unprepared for what awaits on the planetβs surface, where his skills will be put to the ultimate testβand everything he knows about the universe will be challenged in ways he never could have imagined.
Includes the complete bonus novella The Dire Earth, a prequel to the bestselling sci-fi adventure The Darwin Elevator.
