Would you live in hell for a taste of heaven?

In this hardcore Sci Fi thriller, the Girl with the Turtle Tattoo is a newly-minted Ph.D. scientist and a rookie NASA astronaut. She sits anxiously strapped into an Orion space capsule. Dr. Susan King and her crewmates are about to launch into space atop the largest SLS rocket-stack ever assembled. It is a desperate mission hastily thrown together by the world’s space agencies. Their goal is to intercept and divert a newly discovered, extinction-level Asteroid that’s on a collision course with Earth!

Unfortunately, everything goes wrong. Inside the repurposed Mars Transit Vehicle Hermes, the crew improvises increasingly bizarre mechanical and biological fixes. Nightmares torment Susan as she struggles to reach beyond science and philosophy. Only by acknowledging and surrendering to her long-suppressed guilt will Time, Space, and Energy reveal their deepest secrets.
