📝 Description: Crawlspace

Adam Christopher, a New York Times bestselling author, presents Crawlspace through Tor Nightfire. This sci-fi horror novel follows Mission Lead Olivia O'Connor and her Artemis Corporation team as they prepare for a test flight intended to alter human history. Their military liaison joins them in these final preparations for an undertaking that promises to open new frontiers in the universe. The narrative shifts when the crew enters a journey between dimensions, a scenario for which they never trained. They encounter strange voices echoing in the corridors and see long-lost faces that have not been forgotten. Symbols carved into the hull suggest the presence of ancient forces gathering outside the ship. These entities are beyond reckoning, forcing the crew to rely on all their skills to survive. Readers who enjoy the works of S. A. Barnes or Event Horizon will find this tale appealing. The story demands attention from those willing to face a nightmare at the edge of their seat. It is less suitable for readers seeking light comfort or straightforward adventure without supernatural threats. The crew must uncover the twisted truth behind their mission while the countdown commences.
