The Scourge Between Stars by Ness Brown
adventurous
dark
tense
fast-paced
I was craving a space opera, so I was really looking forward to this one. This was a fun, fast paced, thrilling novella. This novel made me uncomfortable with the thought of just floating in deep space without any signs of other human life. It created a very claustrophobic feel.
The build up of suspense and atmosphere was well done, and the internal and external threats that the crew faced added to the tension. I enjoyed the mystery and intrigue of what kind of entity is wreaking havoc on this ship. The ending was very climactic and had me on the edge of my seat.
That being said, I don't know if this will have much staying power with me. The audiobook was fantastic, and the narrator did a wonderful job. I appreciated that the author used her astrophysics background to add to the science in the novella. If you want something that is pacey and suspenseful, I recommend this one!
