About This Book

A small interplanetary cruiser answers a frantic distress call from a luxury spaceliner whose reactor degeneration has unleashed deadly radiation and molten destruction. A rookie astrogator and veteran crew endure extreme acceleration to reach the crippled ship, where boarding parties confront widespread death, radiation burns, and collapsing compartments. With nine lifeboats lost and only one cramped launch available, officers must triage the suffering, improvise evacuation plans, and confront harsh limits on rescue capacity while tending the wounded and managing deteriorating ship systems.
