Edgar Award Nominee for Best Young Adult Mystery
Perfect for fans of Madeleine Roux, Jonathan Maberry, and horror films
like 28 Days Later and Resident Evil, this pulse-pounding,
hair-raising, utterly terrifying novel is the first in a duology from
the critically acclaimed author of the Taken trilogy.
After receiving a distress call from a drill team on a distant planet, a
skeleton crew is sent into deep space to perform a standard
search-and-rescue mission.
When they arrive, they find the planet littered with the remains of the
project--including its members' dead bodies. As they try to piece
together what could have possibly decimated an entire project, they
discover that some things are best left buried--and some monsters are
only too ready to awaken.
