DEADSPACE

Kingston Crane is twenty years and thirty seven days. He counts, because each day is worth celebrating when the New Plague eats through Earth's population by the second. Crane and the other survivors have found shelter in the ruins of New York City, but the relentless hunger of the plague victims means true security died along with the rest of America.

Crane is a protector, a strategist, a leader.... except no, he's not.

Crane is not the rugged leader of a band of survivors; he is a convicted criminal locked into a virtual reality to keep him off the streets.

The Congo-Cyber Simulation Program is the brainchild of Francesca Lane-Riley, a highly educated scientist who sees a golden age of peace and reform, whilst the convicts get what they've always wanted-a truly lawless world.

When a televised interview turns sour and a journalist and her son begin to push for answers Francesca doesn't have her attention falls to the young men and women who lie comatose in her facility, and Crane's future depends on coming to terms with the truth before Francesca's monsters eat him alive.
