An electric blend of sci-fi and horror, Paradise-1 begins a terrifying new trilogy of exploration and survival in deep space from Arthur C. Clarke Award-nominated author David Wellington."A superior space thriller that never flags....Readers will be on the edge of their seats." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) Paradise-1. Earth's first deep space colony. For thousands of people, it was an opportunity for a new life. Until it went dark. No communication has been received from the colony for months. And it falls to Firewatch inspector Alexandra Petrova and the crew of the Artemis to investigate. What they find is more horrifying than anything they could have imagined.
I absolutely love everything by David Wellington, but his sci fi horror is unbeatable. This is the first in the red space trilogy and the plot is extremely thick, it’s fast paced and it doesn’t feel rushed. Which is hard to achieve. His other novel The Last Astronaut is also literal gold. I have a copy of everything he’s ever written. Trust me when I say if you have adhd and love sci fi this book will take over your whole brain.
A wild ride from start to finish!

Some of the best sci-fi horror I’ve ever read. I’m usually way too ADHD to read books at an efficient pace, but I burned through this (nearly 700 page) book very quickly. I couldn’t put it down. Something about the way Wellington writes just resonates with me & stimulates my imagination like few other authors ever have. A gripping & incredible sci-fi adventure with the perfect amount of horror through out. I can’t wait to read the sequel! This is an easy 10/10 for me.
