Vessel: A Novel Audiobook (Free)

“A surprising page-turner…Engaging. Highly recommended.”—Library Journal (starred review), Debut from the Month

An astronaut comes back to Earth after losing her whole crew to an inexplicable disaster, but is her version of what happened in space the truth? Or is there more towards the story…A tense, mental thriller perfect for supporters of Dark Matter as well as the Martian.

After Catherine Wells’s ship encounters a deadly incident in deep space and loses connection with NASA, the whole planet about Vessel: A Book believes her dead. Miraculously—and mysteriously—she survived, but with little memory space of what happened. Her reentry after ten years away is normally a turbulent one: her hubby has moved on with an other woman and the youthful daughter she left out has grown into a teenager she barely identifies. Catherine, too, is different. The long years alone changed her, so that as she readjusts to being home, occasionally she feels disconnected and even, sometimes, deep rage toward her family and colleagues. You will find periods of time she can’t account for, as well, and she starts getting up in more and more unusual and worrisome locations, like restricted regions of NASA. All of a sudden she’s questioning everything that occurred up in space: how her crewmates passed away, how she survived, and now, what’s happening to her back on Earth.

Smart, gripping, and compelling, this page-turning sci-fi thriller can leave you breathless.
