Fantasy, Horror, and Sci-fi, Oh My!

Sci-fi Thriller Novel Complete

The story is essentially a spacecraft in distress with a ticking time bomb element… it takes place over a very short period of time as things go terribly wrong. It put me in a mind of Gravity in that sense… urgency was on every page.
