About this ebook

A brilliantly compulsive page-turner from the author of The Surgeon.

Dr Emma Watson, a brilliant research physician, has been training for the mission of a lifetime: to study living organisms in space. Jack McCallum, Emma’s estranged husband, has shared her dream of space travel, but a medical condition has grounded him. Now he must watch from the sidelines...

The mission aboard the space station turns into a nightmare when a culture of single-celled organisms begins to regenerate out of control – and infects the crew with agonising and deadly results. Emma struggles to contain the deadly virus, while back home Jack and NASA work against the clock to bring her home. But there will be no rescue, as the astronauts are left stranded in orbit where they are dying one by one...

I haven't seen the film so new nothing about the book.A super page - turning roller coaster of a ride. Some uncomfortably gory bits,(quite a lot really) but unputdownable all the same. Looking forward to another one of the authors books once I have got my breath back.Science fiction...yes...possible ?....unfortunately yes.Enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of Gerritsen but I enjoyed this ISS based story. A bit of Sci-fi with poorly embedded romantic motives.

Took a bit of getting into ... Once there I enjoyed it .... Like someone else said though the romance in it did spoil it to a degree
