Blog Tour ‘Tracer’ by Rob Boffard

Imagine ‘The Bourne Identity’ meets ‘Gravity’ and you’ll
get ‘TRACER’, the most exciting action thriller set in space you’ll ever read.

Sarah Lotz, author of The Three calls it “fast,
exhilarating and unforgettable”.

A huge space station orbits the Earth, holding the last
of humanity. It’s broken, rusted, falling apart. We’ve wrecked our planet, and
now we have to live with the consequences: a new home that’s dirty, overcrowded
and inescapable.

What’s more, there’s a madman hiding on the station. He’s
about to unleash chaos. And when he does, there’ll be nowhere left to run.

In space, every second counts. Who said nobody could hear
you scream?

‘A stunning debut
that never lets up, from the nerve-jangling beginning to the explosive end’
James Douglas,
author of The Doomsday Machine

‘TRACER sets a new
standard for all-action SF’
Ken MacLeod

When I first read about ‘Tracer’ I was immediately
excited to read this book. It just sounded like a very exciting, thrilling and
different book and I was looking forward to start reading it. The cover is simple
but definitely grabs your eye.

In ‘Tracer’ we meet Riley Hale,
Oren Darnell and Prakesh Kumar. Three very
different characters who all life on the spaceship called ‘Outer Earth’. When
Earth was destroyed years ago, some people created ‘Outer Earth’ a spaceship
with all the necessities for humans to survive. But ‘Outer Earth’ wasn’t designed
to exist so long, and not with so many people on it. Now, someone on the
spaceship is trying to unleash complete and other chaos.

This book was definitely different
than the other books I read lately. But not in a bad way. This book is exciting
and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Although there are some ‘slow’ parts in
this book, this book mostly makes you want to keep on reading. The author
created a very interesting and different world. The way the author described
the setting on the spaceship and the conditions the people lived in, that was
definitely interesting. For example the way people like Riley, had to look out
all the time for ‘gang’ people who wanted to steel the packages she needed to
deliver.

‘Tracer’ is written through the
three main characters point of views. I really enjoyed that. Especially since
those three characters are all very different. It definitely made this book
even more fascinating to read.

The character I loved the most was
Riley. From the very beginning I just really liked her character. I loved how
strong she was and how she did her job as a tracer.

This book is a must read if your
into Sci- fi and dystopian novels. It definitely was a fun read
for me.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review from the Little, Brown Book Group.
