Critic reviews

Wellington skillfully combines hard sci-fi worldbuilding with tense mystery for a superior space thriller that never flags . . . Wellington excels at vivid descriptions, which further enhance the clever plot. Readers will be on the edges of their seats

A captivating, eerie story with such engaging characters you won't want to say goodbye at the end. I don't remember the last time I loved a team this much!

As Wellington expertly balances a steady stream of increasingly dire action sequences, intensely creepy worldbuilding, satisfying character development, and an original monster stalking the protagonists, readers will be invested in the plot while coming to truly care about the characters along the way

A clever sci-fi horror novel that provides enough thrills and cool ideas to keep readers entertained until the end

Space thriller

It starts a little slow and much time is spent on feelings and thoughts. But soon the intensity picks up and a real thriller emerges. The suspense reminds me of the first Alien movie, but with a different story that develops further and further. A few weak spots here and there but overall a story that gripped me so that I wouldn’t miss a single second. I fully recommend this one!
