Description

For fans of Andy Weir, from the first editor of THE MARTIAN, THE MARTIAN and PROJECT HAIL MARY meet GOOD WILL HUNTING and THE X-FILES in this page-turning thriller.

A mathematical genius. A formula that speeds up space travel called SHORTCUT. His loving wife. When Laura Maxx disappears after an attack that leaves Jason Maxx in the hospital, his only goal is to find her and bring her back. Then he gets a message: Laura is alive. Somewhere in space. To get her back, he'll do whatever it takes--even taking on government agents who might try to stop him. Racing against the clock to perfect the formula and the system that relies on it and find a suitable craft to take him out there, Jason finds he needs more than math to succeed this time.

An unforgettable near future, hard science fiction thriller from the producer of Donnie Darko and A Time To Kill and the #1 bestselling author and first editor of Andy Weir's The Martian, SHORTCUT will have you on the edge of your seat!
