Revenant-X

De: David Wellington

Narrado por: Laurel Lefkow

Revenant-X is the terrifying second novel in a new trilogy of survival and exploration in deep space, from Arthur C. Clarke Award-nominated author David Wellington.

FEAR THE DARK.

The crew of the Artemis - led by Firewatch agent Alexandra Petrova - have survived the furious onslaught of the Basilisk and broken through the space blockade around Paradise-1. Now they can pursue their original mission and investigate why Earth's first deep space colony has fallen silent.

The answer seems obvious: the site is deserted.

Or so they think.

Some of the colonists remain . . . but they're no longer human.

Petrova and her crew now face a desperate struggle to survive as they attempt to uncover the mystery of what has befallen the colony.

If they fail, the darkness that has fallen over Paradise-1 will consume them.

David you jerk

Wellington did it again. Writing a wonderful story and pissing me off with a cliff hanger

incredible storytelling

A little too descriptive at times, author is almost "beating the dead horse" in some chapters.

Amazing

Amazing story and narration, it continues seamlessly from book 1. can’t wait for book 3

Excellent

This was a very good follow up to the first book. I eagerly await the final installment!

Good book

This is a continuation of his other book, story flows well and is well written. I would describe it as a sci-fi, action, horror novel.
