Pushing Ice

Book •
'Pushing Ice' is a science fiction novel that begins in 2057, following the crew of a mining ship as they encounter a mysterious object hurtling through the solar system.

This object turns out to be Janus, one of Saturn's moons, which suddenly accelerates out of orbit.

The crew, led by Captain Bella Lind, makes the fateful decision to pursue Janus, embarking on a journey that takes them far beyond the familiar boundaries of the solar system and into the unknown depths of space.

As they venture deeper into the cosmos, they encounter alien artifacts, face existential challenges, and grapple with the implications of their choices.

Reynolds explores themes of exploration, survival, and the nature of humanity in the face of the vastness and indifference of the universe.
