Storyline
After an asteroid has collided with their spaceship, the five astronauts aboard suddenly have to decide who’s to live and who’s to die, since the crash has left their oxygen supply almost depleted. The initially cosy atmosphere soon turns grim and hostile, as a nerve-racking fight for survival ensues, no holds barred.

“It’s often quite an adversarial relationship between a novelist and the people adapting their work, because a big part of the job is discarding material.”
