Review:
I probably should have seen how this story was going to end up, but I didn't. It's obvious after reading it.
I loved the main character - Claire Kovalik. I relate a lot to her. Not the growing up in a group home or being from a colony on Mars (obviously), but the not wanting anyone around, relying on myself, etc. How hard it was for her to let Cane in. If the author has little or no experience of this in her life, then she does exceptionally well getting into the minds who have this view on life.
Max gave me Event Horizon vibes. I thought for sure he would 'win' & I was so pissed off for Claire about what she found out. I am glad that Claire & Cane didn't jump right into a relationship after all that was done. It shows how folks like her (like me & others) feel a bit.
Goodreads Description:
Titanic meets The Shining in S.A. Barnes’ Dead Silence, a SF horror novel in which a woman and her crew board a decades-lost luxury cruiser and find the wreckage of a nightmare that hasn't yet ended.
A GHOST SHIP.
A SALVAGE CREW.
UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS.
Claire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed—made obsolete—when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate.
What they find at the other end of the signal is a shock: the Aurora, a famous luxury space-liner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick trip through the Aurora reveals something isn’t right.
Whispers in the dark. Flickers of movement. Words scrawled in blood. Claire must fight to hold onto her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora, before she and her crew meet the same ghastly fate.
