Publisher's Summary

If your captain won't keep you safe, who will?

An interplanetary surveying expedition ends in disaster. The survivors are stranded on a beautiful but savage planet.

Making it home will be hard enough, without having to fight each other. Can the truth survive one man's desire to make a name for himself?

Ballantyne Alysom is the galaxy’s most famous explorer. Davis Jansen is the cameraman he takes to record his latest mission. Alysom is giving nothing away, except that it's something that’s never been seen before.

When things go wrong, they are marooned on a savage and uncharted planet. The survivors need a leader they can rely on. Jansen watches and records it all as Alysom’s true character is revealed. He’s not the genial and fearless explorer that everyone sees.

The Far Explorer is a ship riddled with infighting and jealousy, and Alysom is controlling and arrogant, nothing like the man that his reputation suggests. Jansen’s efforts to expose the truth carry just as much risk as surviving on the planet did. Maybe more.

Find out if enough lies can ever bury the truth in Survive, the Tale of Ballantyne Alysom.
