Lifepod

The year is 2168, A.D. On the planet Venus there is a large space colony and a mining operation owned by the megacorporation called Earthcorp. The Venusians have begun lobbying for independence. They feel they'll never have relief from the brutally harsh working conditions imposed upon them by Earthcorp until they're self-governing. With the Venusian colonies on the verge of revolt, Senator Daniel Banks is dispatched by Earthcorp shareholders to hear the Venusian grievances and begin to negotiate a settlement that will avert hostilities. The handsome, womanizing Banks is returning to Earth aboard the luxury space liner Terrania when disaster strikes. Nine people frantically board Lifepod Seven and successfully eject the pod from the interplanetary liner just moments before it explodes, killing everyone left aboard. While the panicked survivors escape with their lives, they must face the grim reality that the force of the blast has launched them out of the search-cruisers' range and that they are drifting helplessly through space without sufficient provisions to survive for long. When the survivors uncover evidence, which proves that the Terrania explosion was the work of a saboteur who is now among them, they realize that everyone on board has a motive...and that no one is safe.
