Derelict: Tomb

Derelict Saga, Book 2

By: Paul E. Cooley

Narrated by: Paul E. Cooley

Their mission was to recover an ancient derelict from the farthest edge of the Sol system. What they've found could spell the end of humanity.

Trapped on the Mira, Corporal Kalimura must lead her squad of injured marines to safety. But, aboard the derelict, every shadow is a possible threat, and around every corner lurks another hazard. Without life support or gravity, and only their suit lights to see by, they must explore the ancient wreck to find a way to communicate with their ship and escape their hellish prison.

The remaining crew aboard S&R Black struggle to tow Mira out of the path of an incoming Kuiper Belt Object only to realize that the non-sentient hazard is the least of their worries.

Derelict: Tomb, book two of the Derelict Saga, is an action-packed mashup of suspense, military sci-fi, and space-opera horror that will keep you guessing.

Cliffhanger

Great book can't wait for the next one. This was awesome. I couldn't stop listening. I just wish the final book was out so I could find the series.

Sequel apply here!

The first book in the series built on characters and their slow build up as they trek through space. This expands on that formula with a more claustrophobic backdrop feeling to it. Book one gave you the feel of infinite and now in two they have nowhere to go. We learn more about the characters histories without it feeling shoehorned in. The action ramps up when they begin to discover what we share the Galaxy with and the aren't friendly. As stated in other reviews, this is a part of a bigger story and doesn't have a beginning, middle, end as normal. Instead, this has the feeling of "the middle", leaving me to believe that book 3(the final book?) will be heavy on the action as it wraps up the tale. This format style isn't for everyone, but for those that look past one large book split into three, there is a good story to read(hear).

Although not my normal genre, IM HOOKED

Paul Cooley has spun yet another tale that grips you by the shirt collar and drags you along. Although I am a die hard Horror fan, Space Marines didn't fit into my life very well. Until I actually listened to it. This is the second book in the series, and just like I was for The Black, I am in a hurry for more. The marines are people I can relate to, having been around military all my life. The problems and solutions that they come up with are easy to believe, and freaky. The monsters are not something you want to meet in real life. Much like his other stories, this one makes you want to crawl under the blankets and hope you are save!

Great book

This book is a sci fi military horror it is wonderfully written well done and a pure joy

The story continues…

If you’ve read or listened to the first installment of the saga then you should know what to expect. This book has much of the same from the first. The story picks up as the tension and action rises. It’s still very much feels like listening to one single book or story divided across four books, no single book stands very well alone. We gain some information on the mystery but that only raises the stakes. The action and suspense kept this book moving and kept my attention.
