The Comet Rider

author : DALTON R. WARD

She flies for the quiet. Now she has to ride a comet into the Sun.

Tess Marrin is the best pilot nobody has heard of: a debt-bound Vesta racer with a dying little brother, a father locked in a prison mine, and a ship with a locked memory her family has kept for twelve years. Then a black card arrives with an offer she cannot refuse. Ride a 14-kilometre comet through the inner solar system in an illegal, unsanctioned race. Plant eight spikes. Reach Noon at perihelion. Win three hundred million crowns and buy back everyone she loves.

There is only one catch. The other riders will kill to win.

And the race is not what it seems.

From the screaming geysers of the Weeping Fields to the collapsing ice of the Neck, from a cathedral-sized sinkhole to a dinner party that becomes a massacre, every Mark brings Tess closer to a secret her father died trying to tell her. The spikes are not beacons. The Run is not a sport. And the man who built it has a plan that will end the world unless one pilot, one ship and one ragged crew can stop him in ninety seconds on a patch of burning ice.

If you love fast, heartfelt, high-stakes space adventure, with a gutsy heroine, a witty AI co-pilot, a found family worth dying for, ruthless rivals and a ticking clock that grows hotter with every page, you will not be able to put down THE COMET RIDER.

Perfect for fans of space racing adventure, space opera thrillers, found-family science fiction and survival-against-the-clock stories.

Inside you will find:

• A brutal, glittering comet race through the inner solar system
• A fearless female pilot with everything to lose
• A sarcastic, loyal AI who becomes the heart of the book
• Rivals, traitors, sacrifices and a villain who truly believes he is right
• A thrilling final run into the Sun

Hold fast. Ride the comet. Beat the clock.
