Cold Sleep

It's the perfect score—stealing valuable data from a VIP in cryo-freeze midway through a decades-long interstellar crossing. If it works, Kara will have enough money to buy what she's always wanted—a Captaincy. But with the rest of the crew and the cargo of one hundred thousand colonists still frozen, Kara and her accomplice, Zed, realize they're not the only ones awake. The murdered woman they find is only the first victim of whoever or whatever has woken from Cold Sleep... *** "I've been reading a lot of fantasy lately, and enjoying it, but finishing the last I turned to my list of suggested books and at random selected one likely to be science fiction. Cold Sleep by Luke Hindmarsh is set on an interstellar hauler transporting colonists in hibernation. Two of the crew wake at the turn around point, up to something nefarious, and that's when things get . . . fraught. Then the stakes the action and the danger keep ramping up. Nanotech, well realised space travel and the nasty reality of violence in that setting, though perhaps a tad bleak for some. I could go on but don't want to give too much away. This is the sfnal good stuff and worth your attention." - Neal Asher "The action is an adrenaline-pumping, gripping rollercoaster. This novel kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page to the last." - Readers' Favorite
