Hop in as Boffard takes his readers on a thrilling adventure in space filled with action, betrayals, and secrets.
Adrift follows a few characters as they’re trapped in a tour ship as a mysterious technologically advanced space ship attacks a luxury hotel. Those trapped on the ship are regular civilians who have to work together in order to survive the unforgiving confines of space.
Adrift is told through multiple perspectives: Corey, a preteen, Hannah, the tour guide, and Jack, a hotel reviewer. Each perspective offers something different to the story by allowing the reader insight into each of the characters. I enjoyed Hannah’s perspective the most since her character sees the most amount of growth. Throughout the novel, she transitions from someone with no confidence to a self-assured individual. I especially loved her opening chapter. It’s perfectly written in its introduction to the character as well as the world itself. It situates the reader immediately in the setting.
The pace throughout Adrift is consistently fast. The characters are faced with problem after problem as they navigate the perils of space. I would hesitate comparing this to The Martian by Andy Weir because Adrift lacks the believable scientific explanations regarding survival. Though, if you’re looking for something similar you’ll be pleasantly surprised with Adrift.
