Review By Harmony Kent08th August 2013I received a free copy of this book for review purposes.ABOUT THE BOOK:"Mick Compton is a man with a past: he's facing thirty years in prison for violence--and he's lost his once highly coveted position with NASA's FRINGE outfit. Now, facing a long stretch in prison, with two sons and an ex-wife he wants back, he's faced with a horrible dilemma--do the time and miss out on his children's youth, or run one black hull smuggling operation in a distant system, get a meaty reward, and pay off a connection with a standing offer to wipe his crime history from the UCA database.All is going well until the ride home: Mick finds himself waking up prematurely, long before arriving in Earth orbit. He's floating in dead space."MY THOUGHTS:Brilliant! The transition between serialization and full novel has been affected seamlessly. This is an author I have not read before, but shall certainly be reading more of. The plot is fast moving and keeps the reader's attention the whole way through. The characters have depth and pull you into the story. The writer accurately depicts the many and complexly interwoven aspects of human nature. You're left wondering "does he? doesn't he?" right up until the penultimate pages. Well done Mr Turkot - a book to be proud of!
