Praise for INNER SPACE

“Space-based political drama skirts the edge of science fiction to produce a suspenseful narrative mystery in a unique setting…This adrenaline-fueled, political space thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats.”
— Library Journal, starred review

“A Crichtonesque cascade of mistakes and misunderstandings in an all-too-plausible but entertaining thriller.”
— Booklist

“INNER SPACE is a wonderfully crafted space thriller. It has everything we loved about The Martian or Gravity, but more psychological depth. It’s also a chilling picture of the Russian mentality and its workings, written by someone who truly understands it. With the resurgent conflict between the East and the West and the return of the threat of totalitarianism, this blockbuster book couldn’t be more timely.”
— Zygmunt Miloszewski, bestselling author of Rage and Priceless

INNER SPACE features gripping tension and a psychologically rich narrative that has been compared positively to sci-fi masterpieces The Martian and Gravity. Set on the cusp of an interstellar disaster, the book follows Lucy Poplasky, one of the ISS’s first female commanders, as an ammonia leak sparks suspicion and mistrust between American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts. When accusations of sabotage are hurled, the crew must confront cultural divisions and personal ambition, all while racing against a deadly ticking clock. Drawing readers into the claustrophobic confines of the ISS, Szamalek captures more than the drama of space survival; he probes the human heart.

Already a massive hit in Poland, English audiences can now experience INNER SPACE's riveting commentary on technology, geopolitical divides, and the fragility of partnerships in dire circumstances. Szamalek brings his expertise in pacing and suspense that fans of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 have come to expect, crafting a novel that is unrelentingly intense and shockingly timely.
