Mark Healy tells the story of Landry Stanton a mechanic who has a past he does not talk, partially because he does not really have friends. Landry spends his time fixing all of the things that break on the meager station that makes up the livable space on Procyon One. The reason for the station is to serve as a watch station and staging point for the war against the Argoni.
Through some bad decisions Landry ends up alone and isolated on the planet surface. The station is under lockdown and no one is coming to look for him, and to make matters worse he is running out of oxygen and has very little to work with to keep himself alive. While battling those extreme odds Landry discovers that he is not really alone and though the area had been swept before at least one Argoni has escaped detection.
Mark Healy tells a tale full of suspense and drama, keeping the reader on edge at times. In fact the one downside to the book is that it ends with a cliff hanger of sorts and the reader is left wondering what will happen next. The narrator Travis Baldree does a great job depicting Landry’s struggle not only with his predicament and environment but also with his own internal demons. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
