I just really love this author and space books! It’s creepy and twisty, and definitely took me on a wild ride.

Everyone keeps saying this book is a mixture of a Event Horizon meats Titanic. I guess I’ll need to admit right off the bat I’ve never seen Event Horizon so I can’t vouch for the comparison there, but man do I love a shipwreck story! Toss in a motley crew, a Waylan-Utani-esque corporation, an unreliable narrator and atmospheric horror? We’ll, now I’m a happy reader.

If you’re a fan of some of those things you’ll probably like Dead Silence too.

Very well-written, with believable characters and actions. The author has an excellent way of using few words to achieve a very vivid image. Well done! Would very highly recommend

3.5 rounded up. There were a few aspects of this book I really liked but at times I felt that the pace of the story was slow.
