The Earth is suffocating under toxic skies and there’s only one way for those left behind to escape – the space elevator that sits atop the massive structure known as the Reach.

Knile Oberend is an outcast, a man exiled for the crimes of his past. Thrown an unlikely lifeline, he has less than forty-eight hours to cash in his ticket at the top of the Reach and escape off-world.

Disgraced cop Alec Duran had a bright future until he made one fateful mistake. Now his last shot at redemption becomes entwined with the fate of the very man who ruined his life three years ago.

Alton Wilt, an underworld boss desperate to leave Earth, falls upon a rare find – the name of a man who is about to be granted passage off-world. With his minions in tow he is hell bent on stealing that privilege for himself.

As time runs out, these three men find themselves on a collision course that will lead to a confrontation from which only one can emerge victorious.

'War is coming to the Reach. Knile Oberend has located the mysterious organisation known as Skybreach. At the same time, insurgents have begun an uprising with one goal – to destroy the Consortium and everything they represent – and with a vast stockpile of weaponry at their disposal, there may be no one who can stand against them. With time in short supply, Knile and his companions will be forced to risk their very lives in order to bring Skybreach’s plan to fruition in spite of the conflict. Meanwhile, Alec Duran tightens the net around his target. As he too is embroiled in the war, he finds that his own life may be in peril. He must make a choice between protecting those close to him or continuing his crusade at the risk of losing them all. As the conflict escalates, the Reach stands on the brink of destruction. Skybreach (Book 3 of the Reach) chronicles the continuing saga of the last days of Earth and the characters whose lives become intertwined as they try to escape.'
