Ten Low
Ten Low | Stark Holborn
4 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
Firefly meets Dune in a breakneck race to escape across an alien moon thriving with aliens and criminals. Ten Low is an ex-army medic, one of many convicts eking out a living at the universe's edge. She's desperate to escape her memories of the interstellar war, and the crimes she committed, but trouble seems to follow wherever she goes. One night, attempting to atone for her sins, she pulls a teenage girl - the sole survivor - from the wreck of a spaceship. But Gabriella Ortiz is no ordinary girl. The result of a military genetics programme, she is a decorated Army General, from the opposing side of the war to Ten. Worse, Ten realises the crash was an assassination attempt, and that someone wants the Ortiz dead... The pair bury their hatreds and strike an uneasy deal to smuggle the General off-world. Their road won't be easy: they must cross the moon's lawless wastes, facing military hit squads, bandits and the one-eyed leader of an all-female road gang, in a frantic race to get the General to safety. But something else waits in the darkness at the universe's edge. Something that threatens to reveal Ten's worst nightmare: the truth of who she really is and what she is running from.

I really enjoyed this action-packed, desert-set SF novel! Haunted medic Ten Low lives her life by the tally - trying to save more lives than she takes. Low witnesses a crash and rescues a single survivor - a child who is also a genetically engineered super soldier who the government wants dead. Did I mention it‘s action-packed?

I can‘t remember ever seeing Hungarian in a sci fi novel before!

mjdowens My family is Hungarian and you are right. You never see it unless the whole book is in Hungarian. Very cool 2y

I‘m reading this sci fi page turner alongside a WWII historical drama. In the last 30 pages both have used the phrase #ersatzcoffee This pleases me.
