About this listen



The Times Best New Science Fiction!

JACK VAN DER VEERDEN IS ON THE RUN.

From his billionaire parents' chilling plans, from his brutal bodyguard, from a planet on the brink of climate chaos.

Seeking freedom out in space, he gets a job on a mining ship chasing down an asteroid. Crewed by mercenaries and misfits, they all want a cut of the biggest payday in history.

A single mistake could cost Jack his life - and that's before they reach their destination. The bounty from the asteroid could change lives and save nations - and corrupt any one of them.

Because in space, it's all or nothing: riches beyond measure, or dying alone in the dark.

Critic reviews

'Afonso Cuarón's GRAVITY . . . Ridley Scott's THE MARTIAN . . . Few novels measure up to these gripping cinematic visions, but Simon Morden's GALLOWGLASS knocks them out of the park' The Times

All stars

Story is great, the social commentary is a bit thick at times, but kept my attention all the way through. The ending was kind of dull and left a lot unanswered, unless there's going to be a sequel

Full of commentary, Lame ending

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Every character was callous, selfish and unforgiving. Even the primary protagonist was somewhat emotionally cold and withholding.

Further, I just can't believe that murder via spacing will be the most common strategy for managing aberrent ship behaviors in our space-faring future. This person is having an emotional breakdown? Space him! She told a lie? Space her.

At times, all the harsh perspectives throughout the story made the book unpleasant to read. I needed someone or something to root for. Gallowglass didn't offer one up.

TOO BLEAK
