Boffard’s debut novel is the first of a trilogy. In this scenario, the Earth is a planet devastated by human misuse; most survivors live on a gigantic orbiting space station, Outer Earth. Among them is our heroine, who makes her living by sprinting through the complex levels of the station, delivering things. Narrator Sarah Borges reads her scenes with steady pacing and a tone of authority. Other scenes are articulated by Jeff Harding in a more detached and clinical way. The author writes mostly in the first person in order to create a “you-are-there” ambiance, which the narrators attempt, and mostly succeed at. That and action without letup give the book a can’t-put-it-down feel. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
Imagine The Bourne Identity meets Gravity and you'll get Tracer, the most exciting thriller set in space you'll ever read.
A huge space station orbits the Earth, holding the last of humanity. It's broken, rusted, falling apart. We've wrecked our planet, and now we have to live with the consequences: a new home that's dirty, overcrowded and inescapable.
What's more, there's a madman hiding on the station. He's about to unleash chaos. And when he does, there'll be nowhere left to run.
In space, every second counts. Who said nobody could hear you scream?
"Fast, exhilarating and unforgettable, and once you start it you can't stop." -- Sarah Lotz, author of The Three
"A stunning debut that never lets up, from the nerve-jangling beginning to the explosive end." -- James Douglas, author of The Doomsday Machine
"Tracer sets a new standard for all-action SF." -- Ken MacLeod
