EXIT BLACK
by Joe Pitkin

This bo0k is easy to picture, Imperium, a space hotel for the fantastically wealthy. Cluster a bunch of wealthy people together and something sinister is bound to happen.

Members of the staff have been infiltrated by a terrorist group that sees only dollar signs and the instant access to some of the wealthiest people in the world.

Dr. Chloe Bonilla is the resident biophysicist, who is assigned as staff to the wealthy people. The staff guides the guests on space walks and other fun stuff. Chloe doesn't like the idea of hostages and kidnappers, so she goes to great lengths to stay free and thwart the terrorists.

Since they are sequestered on the Imperium in space, there is no place for anyone to run, to escape the horror that has come upon them.

"... Humans were the only ones who scared her." (predators) "I.Dislike.Foul.Language" I don't like it either, but there's no call for severely punishing someone for it.

This is an exciting, fast paced novel, quite entertaining.
