'Never lets up, from the nerve-jangling beginning to the explosive end' James Douglas on Tracer
Outer Earth is a giant space station, orbiting the dead remains of our planet. It is humanity's last refuge.
Riley Hale may be the newest member of the station's law enforcement team, but she feels less in control than ever. When a doctor bent on revenge blackmails her, Riley has no choice but to give in to his demands and break a dangerous prisoner out of jail. But this is not just any prisoner - it's someone capable of bringing the entire space station to its knees.
With time running out, Riley must break her own beliefs - and every law she's sworn to protect - if she has any hope of saving Outer Earth from destruction.
Experience the excitement of Outer Earth in Zero-G - an action-packed thriller set in space from Rob Boffard.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Boffard's sometimes confusing follow-up to the near-future thriller Tracer finds former space station courier Riley Hale once again caught up in deadly plots complicated by competing loyalties. Six months after Riley saved the Outer Earth space station, the last refuge of humankind after eco-collapse on Earth, she's now employed as a "stomper," part of local law enforcement. But her past has made her a target for vigilante Morgan Knox, who wants Riley's help in taking his revenge on jailed terrorist leader Janice Okwembu. To force Riley to help him, Knox has surgically implanted explosive charges in Riley's knees. To complicate matters, a deadly virus is sweeping across the station. When Knox falls ill, Riley must find a cure to save herself as well as the rest of the station. As before, Boffard's story moves lightning fast. The worldbuilding doesn't always pass muster, but the action is tense and brisk, a fine beach read for thriller fans.
