The universe is a big place.

In the centuries since its expansion beyond the outer reaches of the Core Sol System, humanity has proven itself to be persistent enough to not only survive in space, but to thrive. Hundreds of worlds, planetoids, and stations have been established as the new frontier for mankind, with some colonists going into stasis for years, eagerly awaiting arrival at their new homes among the stars.

With that expansion, and the astronomical distances needed to reach the new frontier, comes the need for rescue. Navigation errors, mechanical failures, marauding pirates, unexplainable cosmic phenomena, and more. These are the forces that threaten to leave spacefarers stranded, hundreds of light years from home, with little more to do than sit and wait, hoping to be discovered before their air runs out.

Containment follows the crew of a rescue and recovery vessel, traveling their sector of the mid-rim as they attempt to locate and rescue any and all lost ships and souls. It’s during this seemingly-mundane deployment that the men aboard the recovery ship learn just how big the universe is, and that there are dangerous things that inhabit the expanse.

Containment is the second novel in Zach James’ ever-expanding Hostile Universe series. Blending equal parts snappy dialogue, hard-hitting action, and deep-set horror that aims to not only keep the reader turning the pages, but doing so at the edge of their seat.
