Publisher's Synopsis
Their mission was to build a second home for humanity - but who knows if humanity will survive long enough to reach it? Setting forth on a six-year journey to Gliese 581g - Zarmina's World - Daniel Medry and a crew of fellow scientists planned to explore a brand-new world potentially ripe for colonisation - but when a man-made virus wipes out most of Earth's population and leaves the rest infertile, their exploration mission becomes humanity's only hope for survival.
Alone in deep space, a series of equipment malfunctions occur that might not be accidental - and as the crew struggles for survival, some suspect that one of their own intends to keep them from making planetfall. With time running out, Daniel must stop the saboteur before humanity's last hope for survival is snuffed out in the cold, unforgiving vacuum of space. Gliese 581: The Departure is an exhilarating sci-fi thriller. If you like dystopian future worlds, second-chance heroes, and suspenseful mysteries, then you'll love Christine Shuck's gripping intergalactic thrill-ride.
