Blurb: When contact is lost with Mission Control, Commander John Dennington isn’t overly concerned. Such hiccups in communication are common. The first inkling of the larger problem occurs when he sees the very shape of the world change before his eyes.

John must ease his crew into a new mission and keep the Station together by any means necessary. The crew jeopardizes their chances by fighting his orders, but Jason Weiss, his mission specialist and the light of his life, makes John’s situation more bearable.

The smallest malfunction to Station or crew would spell the end for six astronauts trapped high above a ruined Earth. It’s their mission to carry on. Random chance of the universe hasn’t operated in their favor so far, but John is determined to see them all safely home.

Review: John and his crew of five are on a space station as the world below them implodes. They do all they can to take measures in making sure they can survive in space for as long as possible before trying to make it back to earth and seeing the damage caused.

At the same time John and his seconds, Jason, relationship comes out. This causes John to worry abut how the crew will react. But he worries for nothing as they take it all in stride. John almost dies during an outing outside the space station due to his suits oxygen gauge not working properly.

This story reminded me of the dangers of space travel and the need to survive at all costs. I thought the crew worked well together under duress as they each had a role to play in their survival. This first book spans the first year they are in space after the horrible events that took place on earth.
