What an interesting idea for writing and structuring a book.

This collection flowed really well and didn't feel disjointed for me which can often happen when you have more than one author writing a collecton

I was gripped with this story and I was kept guessing the whole way through

I fell the characters were well developed and the world building was great too and not an info dump all at once.

"Days Until Home" eBook was published in 2017 and was written by Mark Gardner (https://article94.com/), Greg Dragon (https://gregdragon.com/) and David Kristoph (http://www.davidkristoph.com). Mr. Gardner has published 10 novels, Mr. Dragon has published a dozen novels, and Mr. Kristoph has published 17 novels.

I categorize this novel as ‘PG’ because it contains scenes of Violence. The story is set in the near future. Earth has expanded within the Solar System. This particular story is about a ship and crew who are mining in the asteroid belt.

They launch back towards Earth with a load of very valuable minerals. Soon after launch there is a massive explosion. The those that survive the blast must find a way to sustain themselves back to Earth. Miraculously they are soon rescued, but was this ship just coincidentally close by or was it there by prior arrangement? Was the blast sabotage rather than an accident?

I really enjoyed the 8.5 hours I spent reading this 356 page science fiction novel. This was a different science fiction tale. I liked the struggle to survive that the crew experienced. Not only did they need to solve the technical problems arising from the disaster, but they had to deal with paranoia (not always imagined) and personnel conflicts. The cover art is OK, but I think that their damages ship would have been better. I give this novel a 4.4 (rounded down to a 4) out of 5.

My book reviews are also published on Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/31181778-john-purvis).

I found this story very disjointed with each chapter having been written by a different author.
3 authors in total.
I just did not enjoy this.

If you like a book where anything that can go wrong does go wrong Days Until Home is for you. The crew of the Kenwood have to deal with a little bit of every kind of danger starting with sabotage. The characters are interesting and the science sounds very real. An interesting book. I have to admit I got a little tired of all the disaster as I read the book. I was also still in the dark about some of the characters as the story ended.

I received a free copy of the book in return for an honest review.

What an interesting idea for writing and structuring a book. I couldn't tell one author's sections from another - so the book/narrative flowed well. The story kept me reading, and kept me guessing whodunit right up until the end. Which I think was the point.
Interesting characters, interesting backstories, interesting world-building.
Good stuff!
