About this title
Synopsis
Twenty-two years in the Corran freight lane. Dov Karsan cuts apart dead ships for a living and he has never once hurried, because hurrying is how salvage men die. The breach takes the tug in under four seconds. When he comes up out of the dark he is strapped inside the cargo drum, no engine under him, the horizon already tilting the wrong way. Nine thousand people on the surface are waiting on the water in the tank at his back. He can cut it loose and buy himself a week of air, or ride it down and try to put a falling building on a landing strip.
Who this is about
Dov Karsan has spent twenty-two years cutting apart dead freighters in the Corran freight lane. He is careful, unhurried, and the last man alive on his tug.
What goes wrong
A pressure breach takes the tug and everyone in it. Karsan wakes strapped inside the cargo drum they were hauling, no engine, no rescue window, and an orbit already coming apart.
What's at stake
The drum holds a season of water for nine thousand people on the surface. Cutting it loose buys him days of air. Keeping it means aiming a falling building.
Why it keeps going
Every orbit is lower than the last, and every orbit gives him one more part he can strip, burn, vent or trade for another few minutes of steering.
Takeaway
Gravity keeps every promise it makes, which is more than most men manage.
