Marvelous Things
In and out of hibernation for almost three hundred years, Dale Abbot has succumbed to the depressing routine of solitary life aboard the UFS Perseus. And then it happens.
The power goes out, no air, no lights, his ship an empty shell floating in the void. As Dale scrambles for a way to survive in the cold darkness, he hears a voice, "Can you help me," it asks, "I think I'm lost."
Now, Dale finds himself in bound to a physical and psychological struggle with a suddenly self-aware bio-tech spaceship that that has the potential to become something beyond the scope of any human mind?
Marvelous Things is a philosophical game of cat and mouse, a psychological exploration of emergent sentiency and a dire emergency as one man struggles to survive the birth of a new form of consciousness.
Special 2nd Edition on Kindle. New formatting and design. Better than ever.
Only $2.99

This is a classic "Be careful what you wish for," moment. As all goes dark for the Lt, you are sucked into his situation. I found myself questioning his sanity, is it a dream? Is he still in stasis? Are the happenings around him just a creation of his own psyche cannibalizing its self?
All Valid Questions, believe me as the situation turns ever more sour for our Lt, his mind unravels and at the same time tries desperately to "just roll with it."
Take a trip to the outer nebula with Marvelous Things. It's truly an experience.
