Dark Space

By Rob Hart & Alex Segura
Dark Space by Rob Hart & Alex Segura digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Bestselling and acclaimed authors Rob Hart and Alex Segura join forces on Dark Space, a sweeping sci-fi spy thriller that blends the epic scope and character-driven spark of Star Trek with the intrigue of John le Carré’s Smiley novels.

If life were fair, ace pilot Jose Carriles should have ended up a desk jockey like his former friend Corin Timony, back on the lunar colony of New Destiny. Instead, he’s the pilot of the Mosaic—a massive ship taking the Interstellar Union’s first-ever mission to outside our solar system.

Timony should have been the best spy at the Bazaar, the lunar colony’s international intelligence arm. Instead, she’s been demoted to admin duties like monitoring long-range communications. She has no one to blame but herself—and maybe Carriles.

But when the Mosaic experiences a series of strange malfunctions and Carriles is forced to take a wild gamble to save the ship, he begins to suspect the reasons behind the exploratory mission weren’t exactly on the up-and-up.

At the same time, Timony’s old instincts kick in as she realizes the distress call she received from the Mosaic has been wiped without a trace.

As people start to end up dead and loyalties are tested, Timony and Carriles find themselves entangled in a star-spanning conspiracy that drags them through the darkest corners of their government—and their own personal failures—and face-to-face with a reckoning that could destroy humanity as we know it.

Surprised Face with Open Mouth“This intergalactic espionage novel is a parallel telling from the perspective of a disgraced spy living in a human colony on another planet and a nepo-baby pilot on a diplomatic mission to explore a new habitable planet. As the former uncovers a plot, the latter discovers that the original mission was not what it seems — and humanity’s existence hangs in the balance. With plenty of twists and turns, some were predictable and others surprised me. Some aspects were overly repetitive but the plot moved forward at a steady pace. With short chapters flipping between perspectives, and minimal world building, this is a great entry to sci-fi for those already enthralled by mystery novels.”
Beaming Face with Smiling Eyes“A high stakes scifi political thriller has more twists and turns than a Chubby Checkers song Set in the near future, where Earth has been ruined by human greed and ignorance. Humans have colonised some of our solar system. This fast paced story is told by two separate protagonists separated by light years. Jose Carriles, son of a Martian senator, is the pilot of the spaceship Mosaic, heading towards a new habitable planet. When things start to go wrong, Carriles sends a distress message back to New Destiny. Corin Timony is a disgraced spy, demoted to a desk job on the moon colony of New Destiny intercepts the call, then told by her superiors to ignore the message. Both Carriles and Timony work opposite ends of the problem, both realising nothing is as it seems... Co-authors Rob Hart and Alex Segura weave an intriguing space mystery that keeps you coming back for more.”
