When journalist Cormac Easton is selected to document the first manned mission into deep space in fifteen years, he dreams of returning home having secured his place in history as one of humanity's great explorers.
But, in space, nothing goes according to plan.
For a start, the astronauts wake from hypersleep to discover that their captain has died in his allegedly fail-proof safety pod. They mourn - and Cormac sends a beautifully written eulogy back to Earth. The word from ground control is clear: no matter what, the mission must continue.
But as the rest of the crew start dying one-by-one, Cormac finds himself alone and spiralling towards his own inevitable death... unless he can do something to stop it.
