Synopsis

Following Tracer and Zero-G comes Impact, the explosive conclusion to the Outer Earth trilogy -- a heart-pounding thriller set in space where the hero moves like lightning and the consequences for failure are deadly.

A signal has been picked up from Earth.

The planet was supposed to be uninhabitable. But it seems there are survivors down there -- with supplies, shelter and running water. Perhaps there could be a future for humanity on Earth after all.

Riley Hale will find out soon enough. She's stuck on a spaceship with the group of terrorists that is planning to brave the planet's atmosphere and crash-land on the surface.

But when the re-entry goes wrong, Riley ends up hundreds of miles from her companions Prakesh and Carver, alone in a barren wilderness. She'll have to use everything she knows to survive.

And all of them are about to find out that nothing on Earth is what it seems . . .

Goodreads review by Liz on September 14, 2016

Oh Impact. How I loved you. Except now we are at the end of the Outer Earth trilogy and I am immeasurably bereft. But before I sobbed into my pillow I was all OOH. Yay. Wait don’t do that. NO OR THAT. Ok you can do that. DON’T GO SO FAST. Actually go faster… Rob Boffard’s writing style is akin to rac......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on September 11, 2016

This book was great, non-stop action like the previous two in the trilogy. I love the dystopia that Boffard built, and did I mention it is action packed? His short chapter structure adds to the urgency of the book, there's always something going on and while you're reading you think, "just one more......more

Goodreads review by Vegard on June 22, 2018

Meh. Serien opna bra. Andreboka tok ein del av det gode frå førsteboka vidare, men trearen var ein nedtur eg dryge over nesten ein månad. Greitt å vita korleis det endar, elles sit eg ikkje att med mykje etter denne boka.......more

Goodreads review by Daniel on September 11, 2022

This was the first series by Rob Boffard that I've read, and the premise, prose and pacing are all excellent. Impact is the conclusion of the Outer Earth trilogy, and I can tell that Boffard is knowledgeable about the science he's writing about and clearly has done some setting research. I appreciat......more

Quotes

"Tracer is the literary equivalent of a base jump: fast, exhilarating and unforgettable, and once you start it you can't stop. I loved it."—Sarah Lotz, author of The Three, on Tracer

"Ludicrously fast-paced, with a brilliant sci-fi setting, Tracer is an absolute blast of a read."—David Owen on Tracer

"Reading Tracer is like being on a rocket-propelled roller coaster and trapped in a supersonic pinball machine at one and the same time. The action flies by in a blur and leaves you as breathless and reeling as the protagonists. Riley Hale battles to save the last remnants of humanity from a homicidal maniac and a secretive suicide cult in the claustrophobic, brilliantly evoked world of a crumbling space station where danger lies around every corner. A stunning debut by Rob Boffard that never lets up, from the nerve-jangling beginning to the explosive end."—James Douglas on Tracer
