2403 AD
It would be easier to kill him than to trust him.
Transporting a serial killer might seem like a simple job for CCF Homicide Investigator Kyle Tanner. After spending years apprehending murderers, he's ready to hang up his pistol. Babysitting a prisoner will bring him to Alpha Centauri, where he can search for a way to escape the CCF forever.
If he makes it.
When his ship breaks down in deep space and a CCF research vessel comes to his aid, Tanner realizes he's in terrible danger: the scientists on board have blocked his distress call. And when Tanner's prisoner escapes, he begins to suspect that the proximity of the research vessel had nothing to do with luck and everything to do with the CCF's relentless reach.
Facing near-certain death by his own organization, Tanner must unravel a tangled skein of vengeance, duplicity and murder in deep space. But he's being held at the will of master puppeteers, and if he can't cut the strings, he'll dance straight to a gruesome, excruciating death….

The biggest surprise isn't the ending
By Kelly
CCF Homicide Investigator Kyle Tanner has experienced his share of untenable situations. In the previous two novels of this series, The Furnace and The Freezer, he got up close and personal with a massive sun and found himself sinking through the ice of one of Jupiter’s moons. In between these extremes exists the void, a patch of space occupied by two seemingly unrelated ships, both suffering from a mysterious power loss and computer malfunction. Once again, Tanner must solve the case in order to find a way out.
Tanner is transporting convicted serial killer Reaper to Alpha system for execution. Travelling with him is his partner, Shaheen. Their jump ship loses power, stranding them in deep space, giving us the setting for The Void. Though she is a talented engineer, Shaheen is unable to figure out the cause of the breakdown. Every system in the ship is dead. She suspects it’s a computer malfunction but, without power, is unable to diagnose it. Tanner spends the time questioning his prisoner. There is something about the case that nags at him, a detail he can’t quite nail down.
After two days, they are approached by a CCF research vessel. A day later, Tanner is investigating a new murder. Hours after that, the bodies are piling up faster than he can count.
Having read The Furnace and The Freezer, I was prepared for the body count. Tanner probably isn’t a popular dinner guest. His cases might make interesting stories, but put in him one place long enough and two things happen: someone tries to kill him and lots of other people die.
When his prisoner escapes, the tenuous connection between the two stalled craft solidifies. Their proximity in time and space is not a coincidence and, as always, there is a countdown until the end.
Under the murder mystery in space theme of all three books lays the deeper, more insidious plot of the Council. Basically, a military dictatorship, the Council strives to control every aspect of citizen’s lives, even down to the jobs they do and where they do them. Their overbearing presence makes the settled systems of the galaxy as claustrophobic as the settings of Johnston’s novels. From the beginning of the sequence, Tanner has questioned the absolute authority of the Council, but has never contravened it. He is a loyal soldier but, in The Void, his patience is pushed to the absolute limit by a Council Representative and this frustration spills of the page, ratcheting up the tension of the plot. In turn, the twists of the plot expose the seamy underbelly of a society under watch.
The Void works well as the conclusion of ‘The Tanner Sequence’ and I enjoyed watching Tanner lose his temper and gain some temperance as he navigates the terrible twists and turns of his latest case. The biggest surprise isn’t the ending, though, it’s how he gets there.
The story of the council has more mileage. If Timothy S. Johnston doesn’t revisit Tanner, or that world, I’m sure his love of Science Fiction and suspense will have him writing something equally thrilling.
Written for SFCrowsnest.

Superb classic murder mystery spiced with understandable science, tons of action and emotions set in a distant future
By brienneselwyn
The Delivery
The 304 pages are divided into 34 consecutively numbered chapters framed by a prologue and an epilogue. Narration is in first person via main character Lieutenant Kyle Tanner, CCF investigator.
This is the third and as far as I know the final appearance of Lieutenant Kyle Tanner, CCF investigator.
After the hot like hellfire environment in The Furnace and the ice-cold environment in The Freezer it is the great blankness between the stars where most of the story takes part in The Void.
The story starts with a gory mess left by a serial killer which is nothing for the faint heart. It is up to Kyle Tanner to arrest the "Grim Reaper". One more success in the career of the CCF investigator.
After the disturbing prelude the reader gets a rest in form of information about Tanner's private life and a first insight into his thoughts about future. This part is welcomed and necessary for the story at the same time.
With the start of the serial killer transfer to Alpha Centauri the wheel is set into motion. In case you read The Furnace and/or The Freezer before, you count the pages until the real drama starts.
In this regard The Void is no exception.
What follows is the third classic murder mystery spiced with science taking place in a distant future. The description of the claustrophobic location - two space ships in the great blankness between the stars is excellent and breathtaking.
I admire the fact that the reader does not know more than investigator Kyle Tanner. Even when you try to avoid guessing you will fail after a short time. More less permanently new pieces of information coming in and together with Kyle Tanner you have to put together the jigsaw pieces which sometimes lead you in a completely wrong direction.
The crew of the research vessel looks innocuous at first sight. Tanner is a master when it comes "to peel" the many layers of the personality of each crew member.
There is a complex relationship between the crew members who furthermore have different ranks and therefore different authorities and there motives and there is one dead crew member .... Incredible.
But that is not half of the complexity. Add to this the serial killer AND Shaheen who is Kyle lover and is also on board of the transfer ship. Both are in discussion about their future.
I think for clarification I have to add the both vessels are stranded in the great blankness.
It does not take long and the life of Kyle is in serious danger. With that, tons of action comes into play.
So far I did not talk about politics which play of course an important role too. It seems the whole galactic situation is condensed on board the vessel.
Like in The Furnace and in The Freezer science is an important ingredient. There are moments where you think Kyle Tanner is one man CSI team. In lack of a physician - WHAT?? No physician on board the research vessel?? - it is up to the investigator to perform a postmortem investigation. The description of the postmortem clearly shows that the author must have spent some time in a real morgue. It is no spoiler when I tell you the postmortem is one of the key elements to understand what happened.
The more I think about the book after reading it the more I admire what Timothy S. Johnston delivered. While reading I did not realise the real complexity of the story. In fact there passages where the difference between string puppets and puppeteers is blurred.
Even I know that this is for now the last book in the Tanner Sequence, I have been surprised by the end. I found it most satisfying and it comprise the possibility of more stories starring Kyle Tanner.
Like The Furnace and The Freezer, The Void works as a stand-alone. BUT BUT BUT I really recommend to read all three books because all three are excellent classic murder mysteries spiced with science, action and emotion taking place in a distant future at extraordinary and unique environments and you learn more about Lieutenant Kyle Tanner, CCF investigator.
The Inevitable
Timothy S. Johnston did it again for the third time and I begin to discover why The Void is the last book in the Tanner Sequence for now. Each book is set in an extraordinary and unique environment without they would have delivered only half the fun.
I have had a superb, nailing and most entertaining time with Kyle Tanner and other characters and all my guesses went wrong.
The Void is the more than worthy end of the Tanner Sequence. It delivers a lot for different readers.
If one of the following expressions should ring a bell then you should have a look at The Void:
murder mysteries, science fiction, thrillers, medical mysteries, locked rooms, conspiracy, horror
You are looking for
Classic murder mysteries spiced with understandable science, tons of action and roller coaster emotions at extraordinary and unique locations taking place in a distant future
then read The Furnace, The Freezer, and from today (30th March 2015) on The Void

Another Tour de Force for Timothy S. Johnston
By Jonathon K
With The Void, Timothy S. Johnston has cemented himself as the current master of the scifi dark detective story. There is a little of Agatha Christie, a little of Isaac Asimov, and more than a little of John Campbell, but with all due respect to those luminaries, Johnston has his own voice that in some ways transcends them. Johnston writes a taut, fast-moving, and claustrophobic story that pulls the reader in and doesn’t let go.
This is the third book in the Kyle Tanner series, and while the book is fine as a stand-alone, I would recommend reading them in order. For me, the most satisfying aspect of the series was to read as Tanner evolves from the “yes, sir, no, sir” duty-bound investigator to the man who while still performing his duty, begins to question his place in the grand scheme of things. I wish Johnston had spent more time showing us the reasons for this other than mentioning “conversations with dissidents,” but even from inference, this was a great aspect of the entire three-book storyline.
As with the other two books, Tanner has to unravel a murder mystery while isolated from most outside help--although this time, he has his lover Shaheen with him, and she is a great benefit to his investigation. To make matters more difficult, the “murder” may or may not be a murder. There is no tangible evidence that the deceased was in fact murdered. Tanner was only on the scene due to a breakdown on his ship while transporting a brutal murderer to face justice in another system when he is drawn into the situation, one that hides much more than a mere murder.
As in the other two books, Tanner is attacked more than once and faces obstacles thrown his way at every turn. I have to point out that the attack making use of gravity was one of the most unique methods of attempted murder I have ever read, and one I enjoyed reading about very much.
I was able to figure out most of the whodunit before the reveals, but not totally. Johnston was able to level a few surprises that caught me off-guard. The ultimate end may have been expected, but that didn’t make it any less satisfying. In a way, the ending was like welcoming an old friend, someone I was expecting with anticipation and happy when he arrived.
As always, Johnston has done significant research in the science in scifi. Most of the science rings true, especially in the field of biology. This is scifi, however, and so there are some jumps that are beyond modern understanding, but the scientific foundations of those jumps are sound. We don’t know if the advancements will ever be possible, but they are certainly plausible based on our modern grasp of science.
I am sad that this book evidently closes the story of Kyle Tanner. I enjoyed all three books, and I look forward to reading the next series and discovering where it will take us.
