Why we picked it

A strong pick for readers who like space survival mixed with mystery. It pairs a battered ship and a fragile hope of refuge with deeper secrets and a destination that promises more than a safe landing.

About this book

The starship Courageous is still holding together, thanks to the steady work of its improvised crew, as it struggles toward the place they hope will finally offer safety and solid ground. For Aspen and the others, the end of the journey seems near at last.

Yet getting there does not bring simple relief. As they uncover more about the plots and scientific trials that destroyed those who came before them, a far more unsettling truth begins to emerge. The danger behind them may not be the greatest threat after all, because the destination itself holds an unexpected surprise that changes everything.
