NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BUZZFEED AND KIRKUS REVIEWS โขย With deeply moving human drama, nail-biting suspenseโand bold speculation informed by a degree in physicsโC. A. Higgins spins a riveting science fiction debut guaranteed to catapult readers beyond their expectations.
ย
Serving aboard the Ananke, an experimental military spacecraft launched by the ruthless organization that rules Earth and its solar system, computer scientist Althea has established an intense emotional bondโnot with any of her crewmates, but with the shipโs electronic systems, which speak more deeply to her analytical mind than human feelings do. But when a pair of fugitive terrorists gain access to the Ananke, Althea must draw upon her heart and soul for the strength to defend her beloved ship.
ย
While one of the saboteurs remains at large somewhere on board, his captured partnerโthe enigmatic Ivanโmay prove to be more dangerous. The perversely fascinating criminal whose silver tongue is his most effective weapon has long evaded the authoritiesโ most relentless surveillanceโand kept the truth about his methods and motives well hidden.
ย
As the shipโs systems begin to malfunction and the claustrophobic atmosphere is increasingly poisoned by distrust and suspicion, it falls to Althea to penetrate the prisonerโs layers of intrigue and deception before all is lost. But when the true nature of Ivanโs mission is exposed, it will change Althea foreverโif it doesnโt kill her first.
Praise for Lightless

โGripping . . . sci-fi flavored with a hint of thriller.โโNew York Daily News
ย
โ[A] measured, lovely science-fiction debut [that is] more psychological thriller . . . contained, disciplined, tense . . . The plot is compulsive. . . . Lightless is the first of a planned series, and you canโt help looking forward to learning whatโs next.โโThe New York Times
โLightless is full of suspense and fun as hell to read.โโBuzzFeed
โAbsolutely brilliant . . . This is science fiction as it is meant to be done: scientific concepts wedded to and built upon human ideals.โโSeanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of the October Daye series
โThe stakes in this story are highโlife and death, rebellion and betrayalโand debut novelist Higgins continually ratchets up the tension. . . . A suspenseful, emotional story that asks plenty of big questions about identity and freedom, this is a debut not to be missed.โโKirkus Reviews (starred review)
โA taut, suspenseful read.โโTech Times
โLightless is an exercise in lighting a very slow fuse and building the tension to an unbearable pitch while making us guess just how apocalyptic the ultimate explosion will be. . . . It is a high-wire act, a wonderment, and a fine accomplishment from a name weโll be seeing again.โโSci Fi
