The luxury cruise ship the Martian Queen was
decommissioned years ago, set to drift back and forth between Earth and
Mars on the off-chance that reclaiming it ever became profitable for the
owners. For Saga and her husband Michel the cruise ship represents a
massive payday. Hacking and stealing the ship could earn them enough to
settle down, have children, and pay for the treatments to save Saga’s
mother’s life.
But the Martian Queen is much more than their
employer has told them. In the twenty years since it was abandoned,
something strange and dangerous has come to reside in the decadent
vessel. Saga feels herself being drawn into a spider’s web, and must
navigate the traps and lures of an awakening intelligence if she wants
to go home again.
This was a slightly creepy, atmospheric read on an abandoned luxury space liner. It was like a haunted house, only it's a space ship. I enjoyed exploring the ship and uncovering the secrets hidden there, but the creepy moments could have been dialed up a lot more than they were, and there could have been a lot more of them. Some things about this reminded me a little of the movie Passengers. It's sort of what I was expecting Passengers to be when I watched it. Anyway, this was good but not great. I enjoyed it for what it was, even though it could have been creepier. It still made for a nice, slightly creepy read before Halloween.
