About this listen
Ninety-four thousand kilometers above the Earth, at the far end of a silver thread, forty people keep the world's only space elevator from tearing itself apart.
Imani Cole is the engineer who listens to the thread. Her job is the Hush, a set of giant moving weights that calms the ribbon's trembling every time a loaded climber docks. In sixty-one hours the largest cargo surge in history begins: sixty-eight climbers, one every eleven minutes, carrying everything a struggling settlement on Mars needs to survive.
Then, during a routine rehearsal, Imani hears something wrong. A clock on the ribbon is lying by half a beat, and the Hush has been taught to push the swing instead of stopping it. Someone aboard did this on purpose.
Help is days away. The station's air is already running on a thin budget. A company officer wants quiet, a director wants orders, a crew of old friends wants to know who to trust, and the surge will not wait. As alliances shift and the margin of breath shrinks hour by hour, Imani must find the saboteur, face the people who would rather bury the truth, and go out onto the tether itself with the clock running and the ribbon beginning to sing.
Fast, humane and tightly wound, this is a near-future thriller about engineers, secrets and one very long climb, for listeners who like their science grounded, their stakes human and their deadlines honest.
Counterweight Station is a science fiction thriller.
