ORBITAL - SAMANTHA HARVEY GEBUNDEN

'Stunning... An uplifting book' SUNDAY TIMES Life on our planet as you've never seen it before:
in this spellbinding and uplifting novel six astronauts rotate in the International Space
Station. They are there to do vital work  but slowly they begin to wonder: what is life without
earth? What is earth without humanity? Together they watch their silent blue planet  circling
it sixteen times  spinning past continents  and cycling through seasons  taking in glaciers and
deserts  the peaks of mountains and the swells of oceans. Endless shows of spectacular beauty
witnessed in a single day. Yet although separated from the world they cannot escape its
constant pull. News reaches them of the death of a mother  and with it comes thoughts of
returning home. They look on as a typhoon gathers over an island and people they love  in awe
of its magnificence and fearful of its destruction. The fragility of human life fills their
conversations  their fears  their dreams. So far from earth  they have never felt more part -
or protective - of it. 'A slim  profound study of intimate human fears set against epic vistas'
