Inhoudsopgave:
A ship filled with colonistsâand one murderous crew memberâis headed for the Red Planet in this suspenseful tale by the bestselling author of the Pik Lando series. Aboard the Outward Bound, there are thousands of colonists headed towards Mars. But, one person on the ship is different. Inside that crew memberâs head, there are a half-dozen voices, a half-dozen personalities normally bickering and disagreeing. Today, though, just as the ship is about to leave Earthâs orbit, they all agree on one thingâthey have to kill to keep their secret safe. Thatâs dangerous for Rex Corvan, because secrets are the thing he was born to seek out. Rex is Earthâs greatest reporter. Heâs equipped with a probing intelligence and a video camera for a right eye. Rex and his wife Kim are traveling on the Outward Bound to document its trip outward to the frontier of Mars. The story of colonization quickly takes a backseat to this unknown, zero-gravity serial killer. As Rex and Kim find clues to the murdererâs identity in the shipâs A.I., they become targets themselves. Will the ship reach Mars before the many killers in one body reach them? |
