384,000 kilometers. 2.6 seconds to die. One body, two drivers.
When neurosurgeon Niko Vale hacks engineer Eris Novak's neural implant to stop a lunar reactor meltdown, he expects to save her life.
He doesn't expect her to fight back.
She's awake. She's paralyzed. And every move he makes, she counter-moves 2.6 seconds later.
Core temp: 42.9 C and rising.
Time to meltdown: 3 minutes.
Distance to the manual SCRAM lever: 7 meters.
To save 200 people on the Moon's far side, Niko must become the ultimate backseat driver-puppeting Eris's body through fire, pain, and sabotage.
But Eris knows a secret: she caused the meltdown. If she helps Niko, she saves the colony and goes to prison. If she fights him, everyone dies.
Two Point Six is a relentless hard sci-fi thriller in the vein of The Martian and Project Hail Mary, where physics is the villain, biology is the battlefield, and consent is the only weapon left.
Perfect for readers of Andy Weir, Blake Crouch, and Dennis E. Taylor.
Latency kills. But guilt lasts longer.
