A crew must try to survive on an ancient, abandoned planet in the latest space-horror novel from S.A. Barnes, acclaimed author of Dead Silence.
An abandoned plant. A hidden past. A deadly danger.
Psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray has dedicated her life to the study and prevention of ERS—the most famous case of which resulted in the brutal murders of twenty-nine people. It's personal to her, and when she's assigned to a small exploration crew who recently suffered the tragic death of a colleague, she wants to help. But as they begin to establish residency on an abandoned planet, it becomes clear that crew is hiding something.
And Ophelia's crewmates are far more interested in investigating the eerie, ancient planet and unraveling the mystery behind the previous colonizers' hasty departure than opening up to her.
That is, until their pilot is discovered gruesomely murdered. Is this Ophelia's worst nightmare starting—a wave of violence and mental deterioration from ERS? Or is it something even more sinister?
Terrified that history will repeat itself, Ophelia and the crew must work together to figure out what's happening. But trust is hard to come by...and the crew isn't the only one keeping secrets.

Dead Silence
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

      Zura Johnson's smooth voice and careful, meticulous pacing build suspense as a small space crew investigates an abandoned planet while struggling to hold on to their sanity. Isolation in space has brutal, sometimes murderous, consequences, and psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray will do anything to help her crew. But they reject her help, suspicious about her presence due to her family legacy, and show more interest in the previous failed attempt at colonizing the planet. Johnson smoothly differentiates male and female characters, emotionally connecting with each crew member and injecting a vivid personality. Narrating Ophelia's thoughts, her voice gently wavers as she ponders the crew's behavior while the horrors unfold around them. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine

      In the latest from Barnes (Dead Silence), listeners follow a crew sent on a mission to an ancient and abandoned planet. Psychologist Ophelia Bray is the newest member, assigned to assist the crew, which recently suffered the loss of a team member. Her entire career has centered on the study of ERS, a psychological condition seen in individuals with extensive space travel experience, which can lead to devastating psychosis. The crew members are not happy with her presence and prove uncooperative. As tensions rise, bizarre occurrences lead Ophelia to believe something sinister may be at play--or even worse, is it all in her head? Narrator Zura Johnson embodies Ophelia's and the crew's unraveling sense of reality. The claustrophobia is felt throughout, with Johnson's voice leading listeners from the slower-paced, eerie start through the chaotic, mind-bending conclusion. Each character has a distinct voice, making it easy to differentiate during times of increased dialogue. VERDICT Barnes crafts an oppressive space horror that's equally a psychological and bodily nightmare, with Johnson's narration providing additional layers of dread. Fans of the Alien film franchise will feel right at home with this title.--Meghan Bouffard
