About this listen



The Times Best New Science Fiction!

JACK VAN DER VEERDEN IS ON THE RUN.

From his billionaire parents' chilling plans, from his brutal bodyguard, from a planet on the brink of climate chaos.

Seeking freedom out in space, he gets a job on a mining ship chasing down an asteroid. Crewed by mercenaries and misfits, they all want a cut of the biggest payday in history.

A single mistake could cost Jack his life - and that's before they reach their destination. The bounty from the asteroid could change lives and save nations - and corrupt any one of them.

Because in space, it's all or nothing: riches beyond measure, or dying alone in the dark.

Critic reviews

'Afonso Cuarón's GRAVITY . . . Ridley Scott's THE MARTIAN . . . Few novels measure up to these gripping cinematic visions, but Simon Morden's GALLOWGLASS knocks them out of the park' The Times

An excellent story, engaging and thought provoking. Possibly one of the most realistic near-future space travel books I've listened to. Without wanting to give too much away, I found the contrast between the trips and the crews really interesting.

One of the best

SJ Morden is writing some of the best Hard Sci-Fi of recent years. Great story and excellent narration make this one of my favourites from 7 years of audible subscription.

Another gripping and original story

Realistic vision of the future I'll give it that, but honestly I was waiting for something to happen that just never did! One of those stories where nothing changes, if this story happened or didn't the outcome would have been exactly the same, don't waste your time like I did! PASS!
