About the book

A GHOST SHIP. A SALVAGE CREW. UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS.

Claire Kovalik is on the brink of losing her job - and becoming obsolete - when her team repairing beacons intercepts a mysterious distress signal. Without much to lose and no interest in returning to Earth, Claire and her crew make the decision to investigate.

What they discover at the source of the signal shocks them: the Aurora, a renowned luxury space vessel that disappeared during its inaugural journey through the solar system over two decades ago. The potential salvage rights from this discovery could secure a prosperous future for Claire and her team. However, a brief exploration of the Aurora reveals that something is amiss.

Whispers echoing in the shadows. Fleeting movements caught out of the corner of their eyes. Messages written in blood. Claire must battle to maintain her grip on reality and uncover the truth behind the events that unfolded on the Aurora, lest she and her crew meet a similar horrendous fate.
