The sudden appearance of a second space elevator in Brazil only deepens the mystery about the aliens who provided it: the Builders. Scavenger crew captain Skyler Luiken and brilliant scientist Dr. Tania Sharma have formed a colony around the new Elevatorâs base, utilizing mobile towers to protect humans from the Buildersâ plague. But they are soon under attack from a roving band of plague-immune soldiers. Cut off from the colony, Skyler must wage a one-man war against the new threat as well as murderous subhumans and thugs from Darwinâall while trying to solve the puzzle of the Buildersâ master plan . . . before itâs too late for the last vestiges of humanity.
Praise for The Darwin Elevator
âA hell of a fun book.ââJames S. A. Corey, New York Times bestselling author of Abaddonâs Gate
â[Jason M.] Houghâs first novel combines the rapid-fire action and memorable characters associated with Joss Whedonâs short-lived Firefly TV series with the accessibility and scientific acumen of [James S. A.] Coreyâs âExpanseâ series.ââLibrary Journal (starred review)
âThe best part about alien stories is their mystery, and Jason Hough understands that like no other. Full of compelling characters and thick with tension, The Darwin Elevator delivers both despair and hope along with a gigantic dose of wonder. Itâs a brilliant debut, and Hough can take my money whenever he writes anything from now on.ââKevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles
âNewcomer Hough displays a talent for imaginative plotting and realistic dialogue, and the brisk pacing and cliffhanger ending will keep readers enthralled and eagerly awaiting the next installment.ââPublishers Weekly

âFun, action-packed and entertaining . . . a sure contender for science fiction debut of the year!ââPatâs Fantasy Hotlist
âClaustrophobic, intense, and satisfying . . . I couldnât put this book down. The Darwin Elevator depicts a terrifying world, suspends it from a delicate thread, and forces you to read with held breath as you anticipate the inevitable fall.ââHugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool
âHough writes with irresistible energy and gritty realism. His puts his characters through hell, blending a convincing plot with heart-stopping action and moments of raw terror as the world goes crazy in the...
