Waiting on Wednesday [282] – OBSCURA by Joe Hart

Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week!

I just saw this book on NetGalley and it sounds great!

She’s felt it before…the fear of losing control. And it’s happening again.

In the near future, an aggressive and terrifying new form of dementia is affecting victims of all ages. The cause is unknown, and the symptoms are disturbing. Dr. Gillian Ryan is on the cutting edge of research and desperately determined to find a cure. She’s already lost her husband to the disease, and now her young daughter is slowly succumbing as well. After losing her funding, she is given the unique opportunity to expand her research. She will travel with a NASA team to a space station where the crew has been stricken with symptoms of a similar inexplicable psychosis—memory loss, trances, and violent, uncontrollable impulses.

Crippled by a secret addiction and suffering from creeping paranoia, Gillian finds her journey becoming a nightmare as unexplainable and violent events plague the mission. With her grip weakening on reality, she starts to doubt her own innocence. And she’s beginning to question so much more—like the true nature of the mission, the motivations of the crew, and every deadly new secret space has to offer.

Merging thrilling science-fiction adventure with mind-bending psychological suspense, Wall Street Journal bestselling author Joe Hart explores both the vast mysteries of outer space and the even darker unknown that lies within ourselves.

Obscura by Joe Hart. Releases in May 2018 from Thomas & Mercer. I’ve never heard of Joe Hart but boy has he published a bunch of books! After my last fantastic experience with Thomas & Mercer (The Naturalist), I’m anxious to check out more from this publisher. There’s only one thing you need to know that will make you want to read this: Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter, blurbed this book. And since Dark Matter was one of my favorite books a couple of years ago, I am desperate to read ANYTHING that Crouch loved!

Let me know what you’re waiting on this week:-D

      Right there with you Bob! I think that’s one of the benefits of reading and writing, keeping your mind active and young:-)

  1. Oh yes, this is definitely one that I love the sound of and I’d also try more books from Thomas and Mercer after reading the Naturalist.

  2. Wow it does sound exciting and I’m trying to venture more into sci-fi. This sounds like it would have a bit of that but not overwhelmingly so. Also, I’m sure the Crouch blurb will catch lots of people’s interests.
