Stasis
Ten thousand asleep. One man alone.
Nearly fifty years into a three-hundred-year sleep, Daniel Cole's pod failed. He survived almost four years by himself, four hundred meters down, in near-freezing dark. Then he went into the personnel files and chose. He woke ten people, one at a time, and staged his own thaw so they would believe a broken machine had brought them all up together.
Mara Quinn reads people for a living, and Cole's calm runs half a second late.
A man who knows corridors he claims to have walked for only a few months. A body worn by more time than any thaw explains. A larder packed for the sleepers' first season on the surface, and twelve mouths eating through it now.
Every year they stay awake, the sleepers pay for it.
The opening book of the Stasis series, a near-future science fiction thriller of cold sleep, scarce air, and the arithmetic of who gets to keep breathing, for readers who love morally complex characters, slow-burn dread, and questions that refuse a clean answer.
