IN SPACE

EVERY. SECOND. COUNTS.

Our planet is in ruins. Three hundred miles above its scarred surface orbits Outer Earth: a space station with a million souls on board. They are all that remain of the human race.

Darnell is the head of the station's biotech lab. He's also a man with dark secrets. And he has ambitions for Outer Earth that no one will see coming.

Prakesh is a scientist, and he has no idea what his boss Darnell is capable of. He'll have to move fast if he doesn't want to end up dead.

And then there's Riley. She's a tracer - a courier. For her, speed is everything. But with her latest cargo, she's taken on more than she bargained for.

A chilling conspiracy connects them all.

The countdown has begun for Outer Earth - and for mankind.

Reviews

TRACER is the literary equivalent of a base jump: fast, exhilarating and unforgettable, and once you start it you can't stop. I loved it. * Sarah Lotz, author of THE THREE *
Exhilarating and guaranteed to keep you hooked until the very last page * GLAMOUR *
TRACER sets a new standard for all-action SF * Ken MacLeod *
Relentlessly fast pace...Vivid action scenes * SFX *
Compelling, compulsive...Thoroughly entertaining - this one's worth picking up if you're in the mood for some sci-fi action. * SCIFI AND FANTASY REVIEWS *
If you're after a fast-paced, action-packed, cinematic space adventure, then Tracer is absolutely for you . . . A promising debut, I think Rob Boffard is an author to watch * CIVILIAN READER *
Riley Hale battles to save the last remnants of humanity in the claustrophobic, brilliantly evoked world of a crumbling space station where danger lies around every corner. A stunning debut by Rob Boffard that never lets up, from the nerve-jangling beginning to the explosive end * James Douglas, author of THE DOOMSDAY TESTAMENT *
From its very first page, Tracer leaps into life and the pace doesn't drop until the end . . . This is not an easy novel to put down, the space station dramatically imagined, and I look forward to seeing where we are taken next. * FOR WINTER NIGHTS *
I absolutely loved this book. Boffard's style of writing is ingenious. He has created a world within this book that is both mesmerising and terrifying at the same time . . . This is one that will go down in history as a classic novel. * THE WRITER'S RAMBLES *
Ludicrously fast-paced, with a brilliant sci-fi setting, TRACER is an absolute blast of a read * David Owen, author of PANTHER *
A hugely enjoyable and exciting space dystopia . . . I loved this. I'll definitely be looking out for the next book in the series . . this isn't just for fans of science fiction and space stories . . . If you like exciting and twisty thrillers (with a side order of action), you may find this right up your street. * Nudge Book *
