Ashes
The deep dark of the Solar System is settled; tiny islands of humanity all linked back to the birthplace of the species, a planet drowning in its own waste and heat. The outer Systems are pushing back against the never-ending servitude for resources to delay the inevitable collapse. Freighters ply the dangerous paths between the planetary gravity wells, shipping people and resources as they can.
Sarah Lorimar, formerly an EarthCon Officer and owner of the Harlequin’s Dream, a Phoenix Lines flagged freighter is on the Jupiter-Earth-Mars run. A last-minute change in manifest and destination, forced upon the Dream, throws the careful schedule out of an airlock, but where EarthCon demands, she’s bound to go, and Saturn is the wild west of settled space.
When the apocalypse arrives, it comes from an angle nobody foresaw, but the results are the same; those lucky, or unlucky enough to survive the first few hours are left scrabbling for what’s left in the darkness.
As the future of humanity flickers like a candle, savagery reigns; the greed of man grasping what’s unclaimed, taking what is, and woe to anyone who gets in the way.
They are coming for her ship, her family.
They’ll learn the apocalypse is the least of their worries.

I really enjoyed this book. Great character development, lots of action and a kick ass main character. Can’t wait for book 2.

Quite aside from a fast paced story that kept me focused right till the last word, I was impressed with the new scientific concepts that it proffered that were definitely thought provoking.
Whilst the cover art gave little indication of what would be inside, once I turned the page, I was pleasantly surprised and very, very impressed.
Can’t wait for book 2
