From the author of
The Sandcastle Empire
comes a sci-fi thriller that’s equal parts
Illuminae
and
One of Us Is Lying
.
Lindley Hamilton has been the leader of the space station
Lusca
since every first generation crew member on board, including her mother, the commander, was killed by a deadly virus.
Lindley always assumed she’d captain the
one day, but she never thought that day would come so soon. And she never thought it would be like this—struggling to survive every day, learning how to keep the
running, figuring out how to communicate with Earth, making sure they don’t run out of food.
When a member of the surviving second generation dies from symptoms that look just like the deadly virus, though, Lindley feels her world shrinking even smaller. And as more people die, Lindley must face the terrifying reality—that either the virus has mutated, or one of their own is a killer.
