Science Fiction
With deeply moving human drama, nail-biting suspense—and
bold speculation informed by a degree in physics—C. A.
Higgins spins a riveting science fiction debut guaranteed to
catapult readers beyond their expectations.
Serving aboard the Ananke, an experimental military
spacecraft launched by the ruthless organization that rules
Earth and its solar system, computer scientist Althea has
established an intense emotional bond—not with any of her
crewmates, but with the ship’s electronic systems, which
speak more deeply to her analytical mind than human feelings
do. But when a pair of fugitive terrorists gain access to
the Ananke, Althea must draw upon her heart and soul for the
strength to defend her beloved ship.
While one of the saboteurs remains at large somewhere on
board, his captured partner—the enigmatic Ivan—may prove to
be more dangerous. The perversely fascinating criminal whose
silver tongue is his most effective weapon has long evaded
the authorities’ most relentless surveillance—and kept the
truth about his methods and motives well hidden.
As the ship’s systems begin to malfunction and the
claustrophobic atmosphere is increasingly poisoned by
distrust and suspicion, it falls to Althea to penetrate the
prisoner’s layers of intrigue and deception before all is
lost. But when the true nature of Ivan’s mission is exposed,
it will change Althea forever—if it doesn’t kill her first.
