The Final Solution: A Half Way Home Short Story

by Roz Marshall

Overview

There's a solution. But it's not the one they anticipated.
They started with five hundred, but their numbers are decreasing every day. Exponentially.

Science Officer Brent and Medical Officer Kelley are tasked with discovering who — or what — is picking off colonists from their expeditionary settlement on the seeming Eden of this alien planet.

But science and logic are no match for their rapacious nemesis, as they race to find a solution before their colony becomes unviable and the unthinkable becomes reality.

:: The Final Solution was a prizewinner in the Hugh Howey / Booktrack short story competition, and is set in a new colony in the Half Way Home universe, with Hugh's kind permission.

Parts 2 and 3 of the trilogy, The Final Countdown and The Final Destination are coming soon.

About the Author

USA Today bestselling author Roz Marshall's first encounter with Half Way Home was in 2014, after reading Hugh Howey's Silo series (and most of his other works!). In a fortuitous turn of events, soon afterwards Hugh sponsored a short story competition based on Half Way Home, and The Final Solution was a prizewinner.

A software engineer turned ski instructor turned author, Roz loves to write uplifting stories set in her native Scotland (when they're not set in space), with strong heroines and page-turning plot lines. She spends her spare time on horseback exploring the glorious Scottish countryside, or with her hubby and their talkative cat and squirrel-obsessed Jack Russell.
