Synopsis (Goodreads):
Claire Kovalik is days away from being unemployed—made obsolete—when her beacon repair crew picks up a strange distress signal. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate.Thoughts on Dead Silence: No lie, I was very excited about the idea of a Titanic-esque ghost ship floating through space with this book. (Ghost Station was my first read by this author and it was AMAZING, I highly recommend) This book gave me all the chills I wanted and then some. Because sometimes it's not the things that go bump in the night (or on the ship), but the events leading up to those things that really drive home the horror.
What they find is shocking: the Aurora, a famous luxury spaceliner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. But a quick search of the ship reveals something isn’t right.
Whispers in the dark. Flickers of movement. Messages scrawled in blood. Claire must fight to hold on to her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora before she and her crew meet the same ghastly fate.
So. Claire is one trip home from being obsolete when her crew picks up a ghostly distress beacon. With nothing to lose (and the potential for fortune and glory at their proverbial fingertips), they do their civic duty and check it out. To be blunt, ANY ship would have been a decent haul from a salvage standpoint, but finding a ship that disappeared under mysterious circumstances could set them all up for life.
Except...they know before they even set foot on the ship that something went very wrong on that maiden voyage. More than just a mechanical failure that took them off course or something of that nature. The lure of fortune and glory is strong enough to keep them moving forward, but the deeper they get into the ship, the more horrors they find.
Claire and her crew are...well, things get messy and confusing and as she tries to unravel the things that happened after the fact they get even more confusing. Throw in a company that will go to any lengths to keep its part in the fate of the ship secret and Claire's fighting a battle on two fronts.
Like I said, I was very excited about this book and it absolutely delivered.
