Across the Void: A Novel

A visceral space thriller--perfect for fans of Arrival and The Martian--following the sole survivor of a catastrophic accident in space that leaves her drifting in the void with only the voice of her estranged husband, a NASA scientist, to guide her back to Earth. Commander Maryam "May" Knox awakes from a medically induced coma alone, adrift in space on a rapidly failing ship, with little to no memory of who she is or why she's there. Slowly, she pieces together that she's the captain of the ship, Hawking II; that she was bound for Europa--one of Jupiter's moons--on a research mission; and that she's the only survivor of either an accident--or worse, a deliberate massacre--that has decimated her entire crew. With resources running low, and her physical strength severely compromised, May must rely on someone back home to help her. The problem is: everyone thinks she's dead. Back on Earth, it's been weeks since Hawking II has communicated with NASA, and Dr. Stephen Knox is on bereavement leave to deal with the apparent death of his estranged wife, whose decision to participate in the Europa mission strained their marriage past the point of no return. But when he gets word that NASA has received a transmission from May, Stephen comes rushing to her aid. What he doesn't know is that not everyone wants May to make it back alive. Even more terrifying: she might not be alone on that ship. Featuring a twisting and suspenseful plot and compelling characters, Across the Void is a moving and evocative thriller that you won't be able to put down.… (mais)

A human story. An attention-grabbing tale of space travel, NASA, female astronaut leadership, human relationships, and space disaster. The story unfolds with crises in the current storyline, while the back story is told in flashback memories of our female astronaut commander. Descriptive and full of the vagaries of human nature and mechanical disruptions, Across the Void pulls the reader in for a trip into space, while looking at the past. The continuing crises provides opportunities for positive and negative actions of the people involved to increase the suspense of the travel. All the while the heroine works on the issues as she recovers her memories, one dream at a time. Recommended to all libraries with Sci-Fi collections.

The book had a semigood premise but thats about it.
I realised i didn´t like any of the characters and in the end i didn´t care about what happened to them at all.
And don´t get me started on how a professional astronaut manages to get pregnant not once but TWICE before the biggest mission ever in human history. I mean really?
There are so many better books, read them instead of wasting your time on this. ( )

Definitely an interesting premise, and right down my alley. Unfortunately, the writing didn't engage me; the plot "twist" was immediately obvious, the characters made dumb choices for the sake of the plot, and honestly a little slow. ( )

One of the reviews that I saw before starting to listen to the audio of this mentioned that it was like The Martian, and yes, I can see that. This is a story about an astronaut pilot who has been marooned in her ship far from home, and the lengths that are required to even attempt to bring her home. But there's another plot-line simultaneously being worked through about her emotional life and her relationships. That secondary plot-line reminded me a lot of another sci-fi that I listened to a while back, The Space Between the Stars by Anne Corlette. Overall, this story had me on the edge quite a bit and I really had a good time with it, but I'd liked to have seen more of the universe ,the discoveries from Europa, what happens after that final showdown and they head home because it's kindof a big deal the whole Ian thing.

This was supposed to be the story of May Knox, an astronaut who was making the first trip of its kind to Europa, and what happens after she wakes up from a coma she can't remember being in. She has only the ship's female AI to help her and keep her company and then, shockingly, she discovers she's pregnant. This was supposed to be a book about May and it could have been a fascinating look at isolation, fear, and hope. Instead it was more about May's ex-husband and billionaire former boyfriend and various other men working on the project and it became vastly uninteresting.
[I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review.] ( )
