Randy always knew adventure and excitement awaited him in deep space, but he got more than he bargained for when he signed onto the crew of the Icarus. The ship turned out to be a floating prison run by an inept former navy officer and his sadistic, autocratic first mate and was crewed with miserable people, most of whom had some dark secret to hide. When the ship is threatened with disaster from an alien derelict, Randy must use his intelligence and develop the courage to lead them to safety. C.L. Nelson serves up a coming of age tale in the manner of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations or David Copperfield and wraps it in an adventure-filled science fiction story. Through the Darkest Depths Of Space takes you for a ride in a world set far in the future and filled with ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
