Commander Alma Smith has spent her life believing that every problem has a solution. That with enough training, enough discipline, enough control, nothing is truly beyond reach. She is about to encounter something that cannot be solved. "43 Hours" is a quiet and deeply intimate novel about the limits of control, and what lies beyond them. As certainty begins to erode, Alma is forced to confront not only her circumstances, but herself-her memories, her choices, and the fragile architecture of the person she believed she was. It is a meditation on isolation, identity, and the human need to find meaning in the face of the incomprehensible. For readers of literary and philosophical science fiction, it is an unforgettable exploration of what remains when nothing can be fixed-and what it truly means to endure.
