Description
A wonderfully crafted space thriller. It has everything we loved about The Martian or Gravity, but more psychological depth. Its also a chilling picture of the Russian mentality and its workings, written by someone who truly understands it. With the resurgent conflict between the East and the West and the return of the threat of totalitarianism, this blockbuster book couldnt be more Miloszewski, bestselling author of Rage and Priceless
American and Russian astronauts are trapped together in the International Space Station as war breaks out in Ukraine and life support functions begin to fail in this action-packed debut technothriller that ripples with the tension and danger of Solaris and Andy Weirs Project Hail Mary.
When an ammonia leak threatens the astronauts on the International Space Station, NASA directs Lucy Poplasky, one of the ISSs first female commanders, to investigate the cause. Russia has just invaded Ukraine and tensions are running highcould the leak be a brazen act of sabotage?
The Russian cosmonauts aboard deny tampering with the ships systems and insist on the issue stems from the American side. As levels of the poisonous gas rise, Lucys investigation shatters trust between the Russian and Western crews, exposing deep fissures in the partnership thousands of miles below.
Intense and unrelenting, Inner Space questions what truly draws us to the stars: the urge to explore the unknown, selfish ambition, or an instinct to run away from the entrenched troubles on Earth?
