What is it like to be prey in a lonely corner of the galaxy?
Frida Juniper is a passenger on board the Destiny, a cargo ship that has taken on a handful of passengers. She and her father, Zeke, are intent on escaping their hopeless home planet of Nox-Gamma. Frida, a mathematician by trade, is immediately fascinated by the ship’s pilot, Juke.
When passengers and crew begin being hunted and crushed by an unseen force, Juke is torn between survival and duty. Juke has a ship’s secret she needs to tell Frida, but her career is on the line. Meanwhile, Frida has another monster to contend with—Lus, a mob leader with tragic ties to her family. Can Frida break the code of what’s attacking the Destiny, or will she, Zeke, and Juke fall victim to the force that’s hidden within the desolate Molorus sector?
I finished “N-Space” by Thea Isis Gregory. N-Space is a novella of 150 pages that takes place in a spaceship. Enough happens in these 150 pages. We have a love story between two young women, and an eerie phenomenon that kills people one by one in the spaceship. Frida, a mathematician, wants to emigrate with her father from a planet with a run-down environment. Juke, the pilot of the spaceship, is harassed by the ship's engineer, feels unchallenged in her job, and wants to begin a new life. Both women fall in love. Of course, there are future scenarios and space horror/ mystery, but a big part of relationships and conflicts between couples, enemies and coworkers too. The novella has, alongside dark elements, positive vibes as well. A good Novella.
Thea does it again. For a book less than 200 pages, she has again has managed to correct a story which had me hooked from the start. She has a unique way of telling her story’s which I haven’t yet come across from another author
