Edgy sci-fi writer Sean Monaghan's tales swallow you up whole before you even know it.

After years at the burning edge of dangerous missions, astronaut and fix-it guy Parker Windell loves his quiet life on the shores of Lake Chilchester, sipping iced tea and bathing in the quiet calm as seasons change.

But when his old colleague Leall Safi arrives with a tempting, even irresistable offer as a mysterious artifact screams into Jupiter's orbit, Parker must find new levels of resolve.

Or just take the money.

A gritty tale of heartache and wonder that drags you into the uncharted depths of the solar system.
