The Fuse vol 1. The Russia shift

22,000 miles up, there is no backup.

Working homicide on an orbiting energy platform, in a five-mile-long, jury-rigged steel city stuffed with a half-million people, and no help from your so-called colleagues back on Earth, is more than tough… it’s murder! Ralph Dietrich, the Fuse’s newest homicide detective, has barely stepped off the shuttle when a homeless ‘cabler’ drops dead in front of him. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he also accidentally insults his new boss, the Fuse’s oldest homicide detective, sergeant Klem Ristovych.

Bit it’s just a dead homeless person. Should be a slam dunk, right?

Maybe not. After a second cabler turns up dead on the steps of city hall, the case takes Klem and Ralph through every layer of Midway City, from the lowest hobo to the mayor himself, as they carefully navigate Fuse society, not to mention each other.

And nobody is above suspicion.

Cynical, foul-mouthed veteran Antony Johnston (Umbral, Wasteland) gets partnered with fresh-faced idealist Justin Greenwood (Wasteland, Resurrection) for a new sci-fi crime series with serious attitude!
