It turns out to be the Aurora, thought to have disappeared twenty years prior (and 650 occupants presumed dead) when communication came to an abrupt halt, including the “reality tv show.” It was the first of its kind, a luxury space vessel for the richest of the rich, not unlike the Titanic. 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.Ĭlaire Kovalik is leading a team responsible for repairing beacons in the farthest reaches of the galaxy, they are nearing the end of their job when their sensors pick up a distress call. But a quick trip through the Aurora reveals something isn’t right. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. 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. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate. Titanic meets The Shining in this SF horror 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.Ĭlaire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed-made obsolete-when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. Barnes writes under the Stacey Kade name across a breadth of genres.
A ragtag repair crew, a deserted ship that went missing twenty years ago, a protagonist who brings a great deal of baggage to the endeavor.
Barnes’s Dead Silence, that same blend of space-based science fiction and horror come together elegantly. It is impossible to discuss stories of this nature without mentioning the film Alien and in S.A. Science Fiction & Horror, two genres that don’t mix often.
