Description:

Bored, lazy, and slightly incompetent, John Farrow is an unlikely hero.
Working as shift manager on Sunspot 2, a battered old cargo spaceship that takes the Earth's rubbish and dumps it in the Sun's corona, John’s limited skills are put to the test when he wakes up on a routine voyage to find half the crew missing, and the ship at a standstill. A situation made more irritating for John as he's not even supposed to be there.
Now that everything has gone wrong, John realises how completely out of his depth he is. The remaining crew don't trust him as a leader, he doesn’t trust himself as a leader, and yet he knows he has to get the crew working together if they have any chance of survival against an unknown threat...

'Writing from a first-person perspective allows for the sort of sharp writing that makes this book shine. The dialogue is colloquial and fast-paced, packed with frustration and foul mouths, but it energizes the story. A unique and entertaining novel." Self-Publishing Review, 4 Stars
