Nebula Express
A DarkSF Novel by John Argo
Nebula Express. One of the most terrifying novels ever written—claustrophobic, with dark glimmerings of realization as the horrifying truth about a wrecked starship slowly becomes clear to the six lost engineers on board. What makes it so shattering is that the truth lies not in the crippled, decaying starship hurtling into eternity with nobody at the controls, nor the astounding truth about strange creatures (mudmen, cleaners) on board, but the realization that the hero and heroine (Ridge and Brenna) reach about their own existences.
Knowing this overwhelming and tragic truth, Ridge and Brenna hardly bat an eyelash when they walk through the ship's Bridge, where all the officers are ancient mummies by now. Ridge and Brenna are lovers on the run for their lives. They only have hours, if not minutes before they become part of the ship's tragedy. The only hope is a mythic refuge somewhere on board called Largo, which holds the key to the ship's intended destination. More info soon. Site under development.
The generation starship is an old trope in SF or here in DarkSF. It's never been done like this before. If you want the ride of a lifetime, take the Nebula Express.
