When Ambrose Cusk wakes up on the Coordinated Endeavor, he has no idea what’s going on. He’s disoriented and appears to have a head injury because he doesn’t remember the launch. Ambrose also doesn’t remember that there’s someone else on board: Kodiak Celius. Whatever they don’t remember doesn’t matter, right? Their mission is to make it to Saturn’s moon, Titan, and save Ambrose’s sister… but something is odd. Ambrose and Kodiak have nothing but time to figure out what’s going on, and including what mission control never informed them about.
I can confirm that I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I started this, but I also wouldn’t have it any other way. In fact, I think this is one of those books that you need to go in completely blind about the real plot. I picked up on a lot right away, but getting those confirmations was a wild ride. It also gets pretty bleak once we get past the halfway point, and that’s when things really get moving.
All in all, this was an excellent read. My only complaint is that we only follow Ambrose’s perspective, and I think it would’ve been even better if we also followed Kodiak. Whenever Kodiak is open, we still never know him anywhere near as well as we get to know Ambrose. It would’ve been nice to switch perspectives every time we got to the next part. I also think that this could’ve worked as a stand alone that leaves us with an open ending, but am I going to check out the next book ASAP? Yes!
