Summary:
Captain Kara Psomas was pronounced dead when her research vessel slammed into Jupiter.
More than a century later, the crew of the Paralus, a helium mining freighter, find a pristine escape pod with a healthy young girl nestled inside. A girl who claims to be Kara-and she brings a message of doom.
She says she has been waiting in the dark for that exact moment. To be found by that particular crew. Because an ancient cosmic being has tasked her with a sacred responsibility.
She claims she must alter the Fulcrum, a lever in time-no matter the cost to the people aboard-or condemn the rest of civilization to a very painful and drawn-out demise.
She sounds convincing. She appears brave. She might well be insane.
Review:
Firstly thank you to Partners In Crime Book Tours, Dropship Publishing and Gareth Worthington for having me on this tour and sending me the book.
Now I have to admit Science Fiction is not my usual genre of book, and I've actually not had much luck with the ones I've tried before, normally I wouldn't have jumped on a tour for a book in that genre. But the beautiful cover and the intriguing-sounding blurb made me jump onto this tour and I am so glad I did! I think I've finally found the Science Fiction author for me!
This book just pulled me in from the moment I started reading it, I found myself getting lost in it so easily, at one point my husband asked if I planned on sitting down at any point because I'd got up to make a cup of tea and ended up just stood next to the kettle reading I was so engrossed in it. The writing style is so easy flowing that even when you're moving from one character to the next there's no jolt as you change points of view, which can sometimes drag you out of the world the authors created. I've just felt so invested in the story, I've needed to keep reading, i wanted to know about Psomas and how she came to be where they found her, how she survived for so long and if she was right about it all.
I've thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, it's kept me engrossed way past my bedtime and it's made me want to pick up more books by Gareth Worthington. Also, and this might be odd, the hardback book just feels really nice in your hand and it's a really beautiful book to have, it's definitely going to look fantastic on my shelf!
If you are like me and you find science fiction a little hit-and-miss genre, I really think you should pick this book up and give it a try, bonus is that currently, you can get the beautiful hardback on Amazon for £2.48, I'll pop the link below for you ;)

Thank you for the lovely review. I've actually had the comment about this being a sci fi book for non sci fi readers before which I love. For years I was a science communicator and I believe in making science accessible!
ReplyDeleteI think that's the perfect way to describe it! And it defiantly does that, I've actually bought the book for my book club because i think its a fantastic book to start reading sci-fi with :)
