I can't help comparing this to Dead Silence, because the concept - small crew who really shouldn't be there investigating somewhere deep in space where all the people who were there died horribly and whatever killed them might not have left - is almost exactly the same. I expected it to be space horror, but it's really more of a thriller. It takes them less than half the book to figure out what must have happened, and the rest of it is trying to survive and escape. And overall, it was good. Not spectacular or outstanding, but very readable and quite enjoyable. There were way too many focus characters to get particularly attached to any of them, but none were bad. The ideas were fantastic (turns out I like space horror quite a bit), I loved the setting, and the execution was solid. I probably will read the sequel - not because I'm desperate to find out what happens, but I have enough casual interest and I like the ideas enough that I would like to see where it goes.
