**Currently optioned for a possible TV series**

Ra is a 21st century prison camp that also acts as facility for harvesting metals—from the Sun. The prisoners have all been banished here for extreme crimes, but none of them remembers anything from their past.

As a lethal disease slowly spreads through the camp and the prisoners are abandoned, Ian Hutchings must find a way out if he and his people are to survive. But dark secrets lurk, and as they try to survive both the illness and the inferno they live on, they will discover a truth even stranger than their own circumstances.

“A suspenseful scientific mystery and a good adventure story”—Science Fiction Chronicle

“Entertaining” —The Denver Post

“Highly inventive, highly engaging”—Robert J. Sawyer, Nebula Award-winning author of Starplex

“Provocative. A chilling and intriguing puzzle...an unexpected and original resolution—and a great climax!” —Kevin J. Anderson, New York Times Bestselling Author

Thanks. SF is generally not my thing, but this premise sounds intriguing, so I'm going to give it a try!

I thought the exact same thing when I saw it.

It's currently $5.99 on Amazon so I thought I would grab for free and read when I get in the mood for something very different.

I've gone off SF in the last few years,but this sounded a bit different so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm going on holidays in a couple of weeks so I hope I can get onto it then although I already have more on the TBR list than I will be able to read in three weeks.
