In a domed city on a planet orbiting Barnard's Star, a recently hired maintenance man named Kane has just committed murder.
Minutes later, the airlocks on the neighbourhood block are opened and the murderer is asphyxiated along with thirty-one innocent residents.

Jax, the lowly dome operator on duty at the time, is accused of mass homicide and faced with a mound of impossible evidence against him.

His only ally is Runstom, the rogue police officer charged with transporting him to a secure off-world facility. The pair must risk everything to prove Jax didnt commit the atrocity and uncover the truth before they both wind up dead.

Reviews

An unexpectedly unique, science fiction, mystery strong character development in this solid debut the engaging plot kept me pulled in to the very end SciFiChick.com

I really enjoyed Unexpected Rain. I like the world LaPier has created and think there is a lot of potential for more stories in his universe Invested Ivana, One Book Two (OneBookTwo.com)

This noble offering by a new voice pays homage in storytelling to past masters by doing what they did best: Having fun AND danger without getting bogged down by HARD SF rules. LaPier turns in a modern buddy romp in the Classic SF Vein! Nick Cole, author of The Wasteland Saga and Soda Pop Soldier
