Synopsis

"Centuries after three quarters of the human population on earth fell victim to a savage plague, a new enemy rises to threaten the existence of humanity. A civilization divided by those still fully human, those part machine and those who are both dead and alive at the same time, what it means to be truly human has already been long forgotten. Surviving in a world four hundred years in the future that is as strange as it is dangerous, Detective Nathan Ironside is assigned the appeal case of a former prison officer incarcerated for homicide in a hellish prison in orbit around Saturn called Tethys Gaol. In an attempt to hide his own sorrows Nathan digs deep into the officer’s desperate claims of innocence, and swiftly finds himself embroiled in a major conspiracy. But even trapped aboard a lawless prison ship he faces only half the danger of his partner Lieutenant Foxx, aboard the fleet’s flagship Titan; for mankind has made “first contact” with an alien species, and it’s nothing like anybody expected. Trapped aboard the gaol, Nathan must survive the most violent prison riot in humanity’s history and solve the case while hoping that Lieutenant Foxx and the fleet can evade a ruthless killing machine and finally come to his rescue..." REVIEW Praise for Dean Crawford: "The fossilized remains of a 7,000-year-old creature dug from the sands of the Negev Desert in Israel become the bones of contention in Dean Crawford's fast-paced debut thriller... The book neatly threads together a wild variety of plotlines." - Wall Street Journal “... cleverly introduced premise... assured pacing and plotting...” - Publishers Weekly “The action is frenetic, in the vein of Matthew Reilly’s Scarecrow series. Crawford is an able storyteller who smoothly orchestrates the plot’s twists and turns... ” – Kirkus Reviews “... brilliant high-concept, high-octane thriller....” - The Guardian "A fast-paced and entertaining yarn." - Melbourne Age "Partly mythical read, part thriller this pacy tale is a page turner guaranteed to keep you up late." - The Sun "Get the cameras rolling—Indiana Jones meets Alien. What a combination of mystery, suspense, and unspeakable horror. I loved it!" - R.L. Stine “This is an amazingly good, intelligently told novel by an exciting new British author.” - Eurocrime "Earth-shattering intrigue, hyperdrive action and a desperate race to save humanity, cranked up to the max with scarily realistic science and apocalyptic religion thrown in for good measure . . . a major new talent has hit the mystery thriller scene!" - Scott Mariani ABOUT THE AUTHOR Dean Crawford began writing after his dream of becoming a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force was curtailed when he failed their stringent sight tests.
