Space Station 1

About the book

Lieutenant Corriston's encounter with Helen Ramsey and her bodyguard turns a voyage toward Earth's great space station into a dangerous investigation. A killing and a disappearance connect his immediate struggle for survival with larger conflicts involving Helen's powerful father and the people affected by his interests on Mars. The station's impressive technology does not guarantee safety: deceptive appearances, divided loyalties, and the control of movement make its enclosed world vulnerable to human schemes. Long gives the narrative the pace of a thriller, moving between pursuit, confrontation, and efforts to discover whom Corriston can trust. The futuristic setting enlarges familiar questions about wealth and power while making isolation and limited escape routes central to the suspense.
