Overview

An electrifying novel set in deep space and perfect for fans of science fiction and horror, Paradise-1 follows two agents from the United Earth Government as they investigate the complete disappearance of humanity's first deep space colony. When Special Agent Petrov and Dr. Lei Zhang are woken up from cryogenic sleep, dragged freezing and dripping wet out of their pods with the ships's alarms blaring in the background, they know something is very wrong. Warned by the Captain that they're under attack, they have no choice but to investigate. It doesn't take much time to learn that they've been met by another vessel--a vessel from Paradis-One, Earth's first deep-space colony, and their final destination. Worse still, the vessel is empty. And it carries with it the message that all communications from the 150,000 souls inhabiting the Paradis-One has completely ceased. Petrov and Zhang must board the empty ship and delve further into deep space to discover the truth of the colony's disappearance--but the further they go, the more dangers loom.
