Description

"Tracer is the literary equivalent of a base jump: fast, exhilarating and unforgettable, and once you start it you can't stop. I loved it."― Sarah Lotz, author of The Three, on Tracer "Ludicrously fast-paced, with a brilliant sci-fi setting, Tracer is an absolute blast of a read."― David Owen on Tracer "Reading Tracer is like being on a rocket-propelled roller coaster and trapped in a supersonic pinball machine at one and the same time. The action flies by in a blur and leaves you as breathless and reeling as the protagonists. Riley Hale battles to save the last remnants of humanity from a homicidal maniac and a secretive suicide cult in the claustrophobic, brilliantly evoked world of a crumbling space station where danger lies around every corner. A stunning debut by Rob Boffard that never lets up, from the nerve-jangling beginning to the explosive end."― James Douglas on Tracer "Readers who prize the rush of an action-packed plot will have fun with this."― Publisher's Weekly on Tracer "Ambitious and intriguing."― Kirkus Rob Boffard is a South African author who splits his time between London, Vancouver and Johannesburg. He has worked as a journalist for over a decade, and has written articles for publications in more than a dozen countries, including the Guardian and Wired in the UK.

Not a good book

Pretty decent concept, but the details and characters are too sloppy for me to get past. I gave it 117 pages before I couldn’t get any further. The last straw was that the death sentence on the space station is a firing squad. Seriously? They have no air locks? Plenty of bullets on the last vestige of human civilization?
