Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A space shuttle flight crew discovers that the Earth they’ve returned to is not the home they left behind in the first book of this emotional, mind-bending thriller series from the creator of the hit Netflix show Manifest and the bestselling author of The Warehouse.

“If The Martian and The Twilight Zone had a baby, it would be Detour—a thriller that messes with your head as you scramble to piece together what’s really going on.”—Steve Netter, Best Thriller Books

Ryan Crane wasn’t looking for trouble—just a cup of coffee. But when this cop spots a gunman emerging from an unmarked van, he leaps into action and unknowingly saves John Ward, a billionaire with presidential aspirations, from an assassination attempt.

As thanks for Ryan’s quick thinking, Ward offers him the chance of a lifetime: to join a group of lucky civilians chosen to accompany three veteran astronauts on the first manned mission to Saturn’s moon Titan.

A devoted family man, Ryan is reluctant to leave on this two-year expedition, yet with the encouragement of his loving wife—and an exorbitant paycheck guaranteeing lifetime care for their disabled son—he crews up and ventures into a new frontier.

But as the ship is circling Titan, it is rocked by an unexplained series of explosions. The crew works together to get back on course, and they return to Earth as heroes.

When the fanfare dies down, Ryan and his fellow astronauts notice that things are different. Some changes are good, such as lavish upgrades to their homes, but others are more disconcerting. Before the group can connect, mysterious figures start tailing them, and their communications are scrambled.

Separated and suspicious, the crew must uncover the truth and decide how far they’re willing to go to return to their normal lives. Just when their space adventure seemingly ends, it shockingly begins.

Ein Trip in's All, der nach sehr gelungenem Aufbau so mitreißend ist wie ein Schwarzes Loch und jede Sekunde wert war!

Nachdem ich mehrere von Hart's Romanen gelesen hatte, widmete ich »Detour« in dem er als Co-Autor zu Jeff Rake fungiert. Dieses Buch hat mich komplett in seinen Bann gezogen und nach der leichten aber dennoch interessanten Aufbauphase in der zweiten Hälfte so an Fahrt gewonnen, dass ich es bis zum Ende nicht aus der Hand legen konnte. Die beiden Autoren erschaffen eine – für mich – sehr stimmige Atmosphäre und durch die konstanten Wechsel der Hauptpersonen ist man immer am richtigen Ort der Handlung und bekommt alle Einsichten, die man braucht. Ich werde in dieser Rezension nichts der Handlung vorweg nehmen, da ich auch blind in dieses Buch eingestiegen bin und jedem genau diese Erfahrung gönnen möchte! 5 Sterne – würde wieder in das Raumschiff einsteigen!
