Ohhhhh was this flipping good!!! I don't know where to start and I'm kinda hesitant to say much because I feel little details can be giveaways. Jessica has just finished teleporting to Carver 1061c. A desolate planet her parents have dragged her to for scientific study. Yet something isn't right and there are a lot of dead people.
Kirby absolutely killed it with the atmosphere. I read the first half and listened to the second half and I can firmly say I recommend both formats. The slow building mystery, the tension of secrets and frustration of the characters is almost suffocatingly palpable, and I mean that with high praise. Told in alternating POVs with a before and after timeline.
The audio is narrated by Jennifer Jill Araya and Cory Myler. The emotional cadence fed the storyline as Jessica handles each revelation. There was so much to digest and it flows really well.
As a horror buff I was expecting more of a lean towards that side of the scifi genre but even though it doesnt tip the mark on horror, its still utterly engrossing and almost nail biting at times. There are a few minor plot holes that left me curious and wondering if there was potential for a sequel. Honestly though, the way this ends is too fitting. You just can't help but appreciate the way it comes together.
This is survival instincts and lost in space with a touch of emotional breakdown. The family aspects are raw and the decisions make you question what you would do in Jessica's situation. I'm definitely keeping my eye out for more from this author. If you're a scifi lover, go grab this one! True rating 4.5/5.
