Review  Praise for The Surgeon: 'If you like your crime medicine strong, this will keep you gripped' Mail on Sunday  'Authentic, convincing' Sunday Times  Praise for The Apprentice: 'Goes head-to-head with Nicci French and Karin Slaughter to scare the pants off you... A classic page-turner, full of melodrama' Daily Mirror  'Compulsive' Irish Times  Praise for Gerritsen: 'Tess Gerritsen is an automatic must-read in my house. If you've never read Gerritsen, figure in the price of electricity when you buy your first novel by her 'cause baby, you are going to be up all night. She is better than Palmer, better than Cook... Yes, even better than Crichton' Stephen King   From the Back Cover  Emma Watson, a brilliant research physician, has been training for the mission of a lifetime: to study living creatures in space. Jack McCallum, Emma's estranged husband, has shared her dream of space travel, but a medical condition has grounded him. He must watch from the sidelines...  The mission aboard the space station turns into a nightmare when a culture of single-celled organisms begins to regenerate out of control - and infects the crew with agonising and deadly results. Emma struggles to contain the deadly micro-organisms, while back home Jack and NASA work against the clock to bring her home. But with the contagion now threatening Earth, there can be no rescue, leaving Emma and the astronauts quarantined in space, where they are dying one by one.  'Deep, dark and very disturbing.' Tami Hoag  'Tess Gerritsen is an automatic must-read in my house.' Stephen King  'Gerritsen has enough in the locker to seriously worry Michael Connelly, Harlan Coben and even the great Dennis Lehane.' Crime Time   About the Author  Bestselling author Tess Gerritsen is also a physician. Her thrillers starring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles inspired the hit TV series Rizzoli \u0026amp; Isles. But Tess's interests span far more than medicine and crime. As an anthropology student at Stanford University, she catalogued centuries-old human remains and she continues to travel the world, driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural phenomena. She resides in Maine. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41843977748554,"sku":"3603m","price":7.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/3603m.jpg?v=1764511027","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/gravity-by-tess-gerritsen-3603m","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
