Synopsis

Captain Idaho Cleveland has one last mission before he retires: decommissioning the Coast City, a distant research outpost orbiting the toxic star Shadow, only connected with the outside universe via ham radio. When a voice begins speaking to Ida just as the station is attacked by mysterious forces, Ida realizes he is about to face an enemy far more evil than any he's ever fought before.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

An unsettling tale that may well induce more than a few shivers and looks back over your shoulder when you re reading it... The ending is epic in scale, spanning time, space and other dimensions... With a very cinematic scope, this is Adam Christopher's best book yet: a well-written, sometimes disturbing, descent into terror - Sci Fi Bulletin

Smart, intricate, and viscerally gripping... Adam Christopher carves a place for himself among the stars of his genre. V.E. Schwab, author of Vicious

A riveting sci-fi mystery reminiscent of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. -Martha Wells, author of Star Wars: Empire And Rebellion Razor s Edge

A creepy mystery embedded in a classic sci-fi setting that ll make you shiver... Tobias S. Buckell, New York Times bestselling author of Halo: The Cole Protocol

"An exciting new novel from an exciting new voice in SF." -- --Booklist

"A skilful genre clash, using the furniture of military SF to stage a piece of psychological horror... Christopher keeps you guessing...

The Burning Dark is an effective work with good pacing and good storytelling"-- Roanoak

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Captain Abraham Idaho Cleveland has one last mission before early retirement: decommissioning the U-Star Coast City, a semi-deserted research outpost orbiting a toxic star on the edge of Fleetspace. Arriving to find the station Commandant missing, Fleet communications plagued with interference, and a hostile skeleton crew haunted by insidious shadows and disembodied whispers, Ida becomes increasingly isolated and paranoid. He reaches out to the universe via an old-fashioned space radio, only to tune into a disturbing signal: a woman s voice that seems to echo across a thousand light-years of space. Is the transmission just a random burst of static from the past or a warning of an undying menace that threatens to devour humanity s future?
