A heist gone wrong. In this gritty, intimate sci-fi graphic novel, four down-and-out thieves touch down on an abandoned colony planet for an easy heist…until the masks come off. Bridge Planet Nine, once a thriving outpost, is now deserted. Corporations have claimed what's left of its natural resources for automated extraction, and even the freighter ships that refuel here are completely unmanned. Now one of those freighters…is about to be robbed. The hijackers are a small, reluctant crew, each with their own reasons for being there. With no one around for millions of miles, they don't expect interference. But the planet's grim history and dark secrets will turn a simple job into a bloody fight for survival. Featuring elegant inky artwork, tense pacing, lived-in characters, and a touch of pandemic paranoia, Jared Throne's Top Shelf debut is a captivating work of suspenseful sci-fi that will leave readers gasping for breath.
