Ness Brown's The Scourge Between Stars is a tense, claustrophobic sci-fi/horror blend set aboard a doomed generation ship harboring something terrible within its walls.
As acting captain of the starship Calypso, Jacklyn Albright is responsible for keeping the last of humanity alive as they limp back to Earth from their forebears' failed colony on a distant planet.
Faced with constant threats of starvation and destruction in the treacherous minefield of interstellar space, Jacklyn's crew has reached their breaking point. As unrest begins to spread throughout the ship's Wards, a new threat emerges, picking off crew members in grim, bloody fashion.
Jacklyn and her team must hunt down the ship's unknown intruder if they have any hope of making it back to their solar system alive.
"Following in Jack's desperate footsteps will have SF, horror, and thriller readers on the edge of their seats waiting to see what explodes out of where next….Highly recommended for readers who like their science-fictional thrills to be both real and out of this world at the same time."
Library Journal, STARRED review
"A perfect scare to swallow up in one sitting. Filled with blood galore while holding tender humanity at its center, this is my favorite type of horror."
