Talos
A quiet, eerie sci-fi novella about a ship that wakes before its crew.
- A lost ship. A sleeping crew. A planet that breathes back.
- Space is silent — until it isn’t.
- Some dreams are not your own.
"Spectral, spooky, and spectacular, will shoot you into space and leave you with a slight existential crisis." - Kevin Carver, author of The Forbidden Parallel
A terraforming novella.
A crew arrives at Talos. Routine mission. Clean readings. Six crew members. Silent planet.
Something is in the air. And it's been waiting.
One by one, the crew begin to experience things they can't explain, visions drawn from their deepest faith, their grief, their longing. The ship's systems behave oddly. The readings stay clean. And the silence of Talos presses in, patient and absolute.
For readers who loved the dread of Solaris and the claustrophobia of Alien, but wanted to go somewhere stranger.
"A first contact story tinged with psychological horror, kept me on my toes and had my heart racing." - Goodreads reviewer
"Cerebral and introspective sci-fi, the unraveling of reality they had once perceived." - LibraryThing reviewer
