Resumen del Editor

The ISS Mordrake is in serious trouble. After a skirmish with a Corsair marauder, she is stranded in deep space, far from regular shipping routes, and death appears certain.

But in space, not all things are certain. Not even death.

Adrift and stranded in deep space with no hope of rescue, the ISS Mordrake has six month’s worth of food left, but just less than two weeks of air, and things are looking pretty grim. And, as if there’s not enough on their plate already, something dark and mysterious drifts into their path - an ancient derelict ship littered with the dusty remains of its long-dead crew!

The derelict presents an all-too convenient and timely solution to their problem, offering the desperate castaways the spare parts they badly need to repair their ship. But nothing’s ever really that easy, is it? There’s no such thing as a free lunch out here in the cold empty wastes of deep space.

Resentment, bitterness, and malaise having taken hold of the survivors, this sudden reprieve brings new challenges. In order for the crew of the Mordrake to survive, they have to work together - even though the faceless, cold-blooded killer who murdered the Mordrake’s captain still walks freely among them! Despite a further run of mysterious accidental deaths, they must find a way to retrieve the parts they need to repair their own vessel - no matter what it was on the derelict ship that seemed to want to keep them for itself!

Demonspawn is the second title in the Galaxii Series by Christina Engela.

“This story reminded me of films such as Alien and Event Horizon but Demonspawn could easily stand shoulder to shoulder with them. There were many concepts of the sci-fi genre in this book that were original and put together in a way not seen before anywhere else (this was especially so for the ‘Akx’). It’s an enjoyable read that will leave you wanting more. 5 stars.” (Lee Hall, UK-based writer, playwright, and reviewer)

Excellent series!

This is an action packed sci-fi tale. The writing and narration are both expertly done. I'm looking forward to the next book.

A ghost ship brings both hope and fear

Received as an audio review copy from the narrator, Nigel Peever; this is an honest review. Demonspawn is one wildly intense thrill ride of a story set within the darkness of space. The I. S. S Mordrake is facing a disastrous situation as their captain miscalculations in the heat of battle has left the ship stranded and slowly dying... with only a miracle that could save them. In disturbing twist of fate, someone has murdered their captain leaving the XO to helm a morse crew while unraveling who ended Captain's Blaine life. Everything changes the moment an ancient and abandoned ship floats within range, offering the Mordrake their "miracle" and move to salvage to bring life back to their ship. Aboard this empty ship is a dark entity that is setting its sights upon the Mordrake crew as its now hunting ground; forcing the crew to fight not only for their own future but finally bring peace to a haunted ship. Narrator Nigel Peeve once more delivers an extraordinary performance you won't soon forget. Highly recommended.

Very exciting

Tia book keeps you craving the next page. So we’ll written as I narrator is fabulous as always. Brings so much excitement to the book. Love it

Second book in series is excellent

The first book in the series, Blachart, was excellent. You don't need to even look at it to go through this one. Different storyline in the same universe.

I'm not much of a horror fan but this book has the feeling of a horror/sci-fi storyline. I really enjoyed it. It's written quite well and the Narrator does a great job yet again, appreciate it Nigel.

Give it a go, i feel it's well in the worthy side.

An awesome adventure

A great action and adventure book. Love the narrator and additional sounds that brought the story to life. I got this book from the narrator and this is my honest and voluntary review.
