At least until the Lost Prophet goes active...
In a few hours, prison guards and staff are evacuated, the prisoners are left to die, and dark mysteries begin to surface.
Yes, Razor is a prison planet. Well, more accurately the thin strip of land between the Cindersphere and eternal night. Prisoners are forced to mine xytrilium, the most sought after power source, one that fuels everything to the Crawlers used to mine xytrilium to computers and space ships. It's valuable and the Razor has the largest known deposit.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Marcus Flynn had been convicted of murder, a murder he didn't commit because he was planning to leave Mass-Dorian the company that designs and builds all equipment to mine xytrilium. On arriving on Razor, he meets James Maddox, a former Ranger prison guard who used to work on Razor until he killed his CO. Key, a prisoner on the Crawler Charon, has been tasked with killing Flynn. That doesn't go as planned and he and Key end up shackled together. Maddox is also nearly killed by one of the gangs on Charon.
It's not long until Lost Prophet, an evacuation protocol activates and everything turns into chaos. From there, they meet science experiments gone wrong and a planet about to be destroyed.
While the characters aren't that deep, they do keep the story going. Gable is a very dark character that has no morals or ethics. Zane seems like he should be the worst thing to exist ends up being a more morally inclined person than Gable. Key is angry at the universe. And others have contrary motives.
The plot is a bit predictable (messing around with alien artifacts that end up blowing up in your face and science experiments that backfire). This could easily translate into a movie with lots of explosions, guns, and gore.
Still, a decent enough read to be entertaining.… (meer)
