Publisher Description
Fun & Games and Hell & Gone come full circle in the Hardie Series' astonishing conclusion.
Charlie Hardie finds himself in a steel box, tubes and wires attached to his body, trapped inside a satellite parked in orbit 500 miles above the Earth. He's got a year's supply of food, air, water, and no communication back to Earth, and must complete his 12 months' duty or his wife and son will have an "accident."
But when someone all-too-familiar docks on the satellite, informs Hardie he's sitting in a veritable zero-G vault containing the world's most dangerous secrets, and forces a crash-landing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Hardie must decide whether he's come face-to-face with the partner he needs to save his family -- or with his nemesis. After years of exile, Hardie's arming up....and heading home.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
While not quite up to the standard of its predecessors, the concluding volume in the Charlie Hardie trilogy (after 2011's Hell and Gone) offers Swierczynski's appealing blend of bizarre plot developments and frenetic prose. The one-time police consultant's adventures began when a house-sitting gig in Los Angeles led to his crossing paths with the Accident People, killers who stage murders designed to look accidental. Hardie later became a murder suspect and wound up incarcerated in an unusual prison. Now Hardie finds himself in his tightest spot yet inside a satellite orbiting Earth. He's there to guard "something" for the Cabal, the masters of the Accident People, who have promised not to harm his wife and son in return. The arrival on the satellite of a man who happens to look just like Hardie imperils our hero's mission. Readers are in for a wild and immensely enjoyable ride.
