Product Information

This particular colony ship has religious nuts on it, however, and as is always the way with those sort of people, they've decided their imaginary friend doesn't like.

I remember looking up, seeing a boulder jutting out of the ice about thirty meters up the south wall. It strikes the perfect balance between bonkers and believable, and succeeds in being both uproariously acerbic. I also blew through this book in two sittings after having a hard time getting into a host of other books, so extra points for that! By now he’s well aware of what it means to be Expendable, and how that might influence the way the rest of the crew perceives him. What follows in a wildly entertaining, hilarious, action-packed story about a man and himself trying to keep it together while keeping a huge secret in a very small place.The Wall Street Journal "Sci-fi readers will be drawn in by the inventive premise and stick around for the plucky narrator. He lives in upstate New York in a cabin in the woods (not that cabin in the woods) with his wife, a variable number of daughters, and an adorably mopey dog named Max.

When a story is heavy on dread – and being killed repeatedly and facing a final death sentence can induce a fair amount of dread – empathy be­comes crucial, and Ashton puts a lot of time and effort into creating a down-on-his-luck, regular, funny man who happens to be very likeable, relatable, and obsessed with the same things many science fiction readers would be obsessed with if they ended up trying to colonize a strange planet. I started out writing contemporary fiction before I started working on science fiction, but I've always been a fan of sci-fi going back to when I was a kid. This book can be pretty grim in places, despite a healthy dose of both light and dark humour, and the cycler is a particularly shiver-inducing piece of tech, that casts an ominous metaphorical shadow over events.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.
