Space can be deadly.”
“Murder in Orbit”
Rusty McPhee has discovered a dead body being dissolved in the Waste Converter Tanks of Space Station ICE-3. But the body is fully “converted” before he can show it to anyone, and no one will believe his story—mostly because all 25,000 people on board the orbiting colony are safe and accounted for.
So where did the body come from?
Rusty isn’t willing to let the mystery go. Helped by an extremely eccentric scientist and his two beautiful assistants, Rusty begins a quest for an answer—a quest that will lead him into a web of mystery, intrigue and horrifying secrets.
I found this book for under $1 and figured I’d give it a try. It’s a short, kind of goofy story about a child solving a mystery in space. I wouldn’t say you need to go out of your way to find this book, but if you can find it for very cheap then it’s worth the short amount of time it takes to read.
