Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive-and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain-old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills-and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit-he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?

Tre elever fra skolen fandt liget, men sagen blev aldrig opklaret. Nu, hvor Brynn flytter hjem for at begynde i praktik på et true crime-show, er hun fast besluttet på at finde ud af, hvad der virkelig skete. Tripp Talbot, Brynns tidligere bedste ven, var en af de tre elever, der fandt liget. Og havde det ikke været for Tripps vidneudsagn, var de to andre sandsynligvis blevet dømt for mordet. De har aldrig glemt, hvad han gjorde for dem den dag, og det har han heller ikke. Ligesom han ikke har glemt, at alt, hvad han fortalte politiet, var løgn. Da Brynn begynder at rippe op i fortiden, kommer hun tættere og tættere på at afsløre hemmeligheder, der kan ændre alt – om Saint Ambrose, om mr. Larkin og om hendes tidligere bedste ven.
