Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes

 A beacon-repair crew.
A strange distress signal.
A ghost ship.
An unsolved mystery.
And unspeakable horror.



When Claire Kovalik and her crew head to the edges of the solar system to respond to a distress signal, they never dreamed they'd find the Aurora, a luxury space cruiser that disappeared more than twenty years ago. They know it's too late to rescue anyone on board, but finding this ship gives them salvage rights. And Claire could really use the money. So she and her crew decide to enter the defunct ship. But the nightmare they find goes beyond anything they could ever have imagined. Now Claire must try to keep her crew alive before they all lose their minds.

This science fiction mystery is atmospheric, sinister and suspenseful. And the abandoned ship with all her dead is truly creepy. Once I started, I couldn't stop reading it. I had to know what happened to Claire and her crew. Claire's a high-strung character with a traumatic past; she's guarded, blames herself when anything goes wrong, and she sometimes sees ghosts. Even with all of that, I liked her a lot. And I liked this book even more. It's tense. It's entertaining. It reads fast. And I'd give it at least 4 stars.

Happy Reading!

  4. It's been a while since I read a science fiction set in outer space. Maybe it's time to pick one up and this sounds like a good candidate.

  13. This one certainly sounds creepy! I've seen films where the divers peek into a ship underwater and a corpse floats out and scares them. Scares me too!
