A high octane sexy space heist from New York Times-bestselling author Beth Revis, the first in a novella trilogy
Ada Lamarr may have gotten to the spaceship wreck first, but looter’s rights won’t get her far when she’s got a hole in the side of her ship and her spacesuit is almost out of air. Fortunately for her, help arrives in the form of a government salvage crew—and while they reluctantly rescue her from certain death, they are not pleased to have an unexpected passenger along on their classified mission.
But Ada doesn’t care—all that matters to her is enjoying their fine food and sweet, sweet oxygen—until Rian White, the government agent in charge, starts to suspect that there’s more to Ada than meets the eye. He’s not wrong—but he’s so pretty that Ada is perfectly happy to keep him paying attention to her—at least until she can complete the job she was sent to pull off. But as quick as Ada is, Rian might be quicker—and she may not be entirely sure who’s manipulating who until it’s too late…
A phenomenally fun novella that kicks off a trilogy of sexy space heists and romantic tension, Full Speed to a Crash Landing is packed with great characters and full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the end.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Revis (Across the Universe) opens her space cowboy trilogy with a quirky sci-fi romp set in a universe where climate change has rendered the original Earth inhospitable but newer, better versions of the planet have been created for those rich enough to emigrate. Readers meet space debris looter Ada Lamarr as the oxygen in her spacesuit dwindles during an ill-planned scavenging mission. In need of a quick rescue, she gets picked up by a government salvage ship headed out on a secret mission. At the center of the plot is the push-pull conflict and romantic tension between Ada and government agent Rian White, both of whom have strong ideas about how to solve Earth's climate crisis. Rian and readers alike soon come to suspect there's more to Ada hiding behind her self-deprecating, dad-joke-loving facade. While Ada's characterization occasionally grates, Revis throws in enough surprise twists to make up for any annoyance. With plenty of teasing about what's to come, this is sure to leave readers itching for the next installment.
