On the Loop - E-book - ePub

When Paradise Hides a Cosmic Secret Alina Andra thought she knew what to expect from the Company's luxurious pre-flight retreat on Tilulipu. Sun-kissed beaches, laughter-filled nights, and one last month to bask in Earth's splendors with her 500-strong crew before launching into the cosmos. But when the executive team, including the enigmatic trillionaire CEO S. P. Sem, disappears without a trace, Alina finds herself in a whirlwind of suspicion and conspiracy as a bewildered crew looks to her for guidance. Enter Torben Stenger, Alina's friend, and the crew's self-appointed detective, who suspects that the island's tropical perfection hides a darker truth.
While Alina's daughter Ria wrestles with her own secrets, the crew's cohesion is at stake, as some revel in ignorance, and others demand answers. Alina finds herself in the midst of a growing storm, torn between uncovering the truth behind the executives' disappearance, and preventing her crew from unraveling under the weight of uncertainty and the conspiracy of a much larger and more sinister plot. "On the Loop" weaves a trapped-in-paradise tale of mystery and betrayal, set against the backdrop of a too-perfect utopia that harbors dark secrets.
J. D. Robinson delivers a high-concept sci-fi adventure that will captivate fans of 'Lost, ' 'Contact, ' or 'Wool, ' where the allure of space exploration collides with the intricate web of human intrigue.
