“Thoroughly engrossing. An engaging adventure set in a deftly illustrated future.” — Kirkus Reviews.

 The first book from the award-winning Heartless Series will delight lovers of romance and sci-fi adventures. A thrilling work of speculative fiction, set in the not-too-distant future, it will keep you on your toes until the final pages. 

Earth, 2050. Scientist Quinn Buyers would rather be studying the clouds than getting ready for her wedding day. When an unexpected tragedy causes her to lose everything, including her famous scientist mother, she embarks upon a quest for answers that takes her across the globe. Along the way, she discovers friends and finds love in the most unexpected places.

This is science fiction at its best, grounded in actual science and soaring in imagination, it envisages the best and the worst of human actions and creations.

    Loved it. An adventure romp set in a not too distant future and played for high stakes. Gravity Is Heartless is packed with insightful and oft heart-warming observation about what makes us human in the first place. It’s fun, witty and endlessly inventive . . . Bravo.
