“Vessel” is a prime example of how valuable a good Editor is . . .
Andrew Morgan IS a decent writer, but the more I think about the book and its story/plot flaws, the more apparent it is that, as much as I love the amount of self-publishing going on, spend some coin on an Editor
I enjoyed “Vessel” for the most part, and for a 350+ page book where not much actually happens, that’s pretty impressive. But the more I think about the story . . . I don’t understand . . . I’m confused. I get the feeling that it won’t truly make sense unless a sequel is written
As for the flaws . . . I'm guessing Morgan was his own editor (I can't find any credits to anyone but him). Just a handful of things an Editor might have cleaned up . . .
Spoiler Alert:
Some parts were just unnecessary. The whole drawn out flying from Russia back to the US and back to Russia only to get a story an old dead woman told could easily have been done over the phone or a computer hack? And when he arrives at the nursing home, the director talks freely without identifying him whatsoever?
Bales getting killed so easily with a murky-at-best explanation for his motives?
What happened to the other two astronauts Gardner and Chris? How did they die? Why did Gardner go into a coma in the first place? What happened to Mikail’s body?
So Sean walks into a pregnant woman's hospital room, one he’s never talked to much less met, and tells her he wants to take care of her and the baby? And she just rolls with it?
The hospital doesn’t question who she got pregnant with? What the circumstances were?
Sean’s helper David gets found and killed by Bales, but Sean and Aleks hide out at Aleks’ brother’s place as if that wouldn’t be the first place Bales would look?
I could go on and on

Ehh.
The same "ehh" I felt reading Not Alone.
Why such a disenchanted review? Nothing really happened. The story, from beginning to end, was entirely predictable. And worst, it contained nothing new for the genre.
For the audio version: It is irksome to hear every single American character portrayed as John Wayne. Almost as annoying as hearing every American Southerner made to sound like a character from Hee Haw.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) NASA and Russian Federal Space Agency (RFSA) are continuing to operate the International Space Station (ISS) together.
However, now there is an additional vessel orbiting in space.
Andrew J. Morgan’s imageries of place and action help draw the reader in, investing in characters from the outset.
I particularly liked following the parallel, related stories—one on the ground, one 240 miles in space—as they unfolded page after page. Sally Fisher, a communication expert specializing in deep space transmission is rushed to the space station in an attempt to contact the glistening apparition that is following the ISS. Her immediate overseer, however, has other plans.
Journalist Sean Jacob gets wind of some of the goings on and decides to investigate, opening a can of worms that neither he nor his editor can contain. Conspiracy, secrets and betrayal are the order of the day in this tale of international, perhaps, interplanetary intrigue.
The evolution of the characters allows the reader to become involved in their lives, struggles, hopes and fears. The story arc keeps us attached to the next twist and eventual outcome. The narrative is both plausible, and possible.
For lovers of strongly written science fiction that carries a worthwhile message, I highly recommend “Vessel.”

I listened to the audiobook version of Vessel and didn't realize that it was self-published until after. Throughout the book, I found myself doing a lot of "wait, what happened to so-and-so?", "what's going on now?, "why are we talking bout this?", and lastly, "man, they're going to drag this out for a sequel."
Basically, Vessel is a Solaris mixed in with some X-files conspiracy elements. It would've worked fine if the writing wasn't so terrible. Other reviewers have brought up the need for an editor, but I'm afraid it needed a lot more than that.
Read This/Not That! - Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel, a much better read with kind of a similar premise – scientists trying to figure out the origins of an alien artifact on earth.

This book should be made into a movie!
This is a wonderful book in many ways. It is very well written and kept me on the edge of my seat till the final page. I love this kind of story, one that takes place in space and presents a completely imaginative scenario that could possibly occur in this mysterious universe of ours. I found the book to be quite enthralling and it has the ability to place you right in the middle action as it unfolds. I hope that someone out there who is fascinated by outer space and has the necessary means, sees the potential for this to translate into a fantastic movie....hello Ridley Scott? Christopher Nolan? Alonso Cuaron?

This book had its problems - editing, typos, the fact that very little happens, weak characters. It would have made an OK X-files episode. There is no reason why the characters behave the way they do especially since the story takes place on the space station and in Russia. And why are Americans ruling the Russian space program? I do not recommend.

Really interesting book. Has some crime elements to it that are unique to the detective genre. Worth the read, and great cover design. In this case you can judge a book by its cover. 5 stars.

This book was good up until few final chapters. There was good, swift action with good characters, though I’ve had a feeling that author didn’t exactly understood some of the words he used. Some of them didn’t really fit the rest of the sentence. Ending of the book was meh. I have no idea why, but it was like something was suddenly cut off and ending was written in a big hurry. That disappointed me. Otherwise it’s an ok book.

Fairly intriguing concept, if sometimes a bit confusing. Sort of a cross between 2001:A Space Odyssey and Stranger in a Strange Land with a bit of spy thriller thrown in for good measure. A 'vessel' is observed from the International Space Station and duly reported to the Russian Space Command. But before long NASA takes over, people in Mission Control start to disappear and then communication with the station is cut off.
I personally found the ending a bit weird.

Good read
I enjoyed the premise but found it a bit ponderous at times. Although saying that I do want to find out what happens next.

Welcome to Vessel, where readers have to struggle through a story with unconvincing characterization and cliche plot lines. Join Sally “token female character” Fisher and Sean “hardened white man” Jacob as they fight a shady NASA ex-general and try to make first contact with a mysterious space Orb.
Well… probably. I didn’t finish this book.
It’s bland and I probably only read as much as I did because I was on a flight back home. I couldn’t find myself rooting for any of the characters besides maybe Sally, but even then the author wasn’t giving me much to work with. Any connection I had with her was most likely born out of innate female solidarity.
I’m getting very tired to the "evil American defense against the aliens trope,” Debora. It’s lazy writing, Debora. The fact that one man has the power to mess up first contact is dumb, Debora.
How could NASA hide an entire SPACE ORB from the rest of the planet, anyway? Also, just one more little problem, but NASA isn’t, um, I don’t know, evil??
Can you believe this shit, Debora?
All the characters are also very white? There’s little difference (that I noticed) in ethnicity besides American and Russian, and even though it follows those specific space programs I feel there should have been… more. America and Russia aren’t the only two countries in space. There are also more women in space. Please give me someone else to root for. I’m begging you.
At this point I’m just getting petty over a book I didn’t even finish. However, as one last point I will leave you with this:
Vessel has a weird double standard with mental health. It’s subtle, and hardly touched upon, but It’s a weird plot hole that doesn’t make sense regardless. They say astronauts aren’t allowed in space if they have a history of mental health, and yet they allowed MULTIPLE people with previous issues onto a potential Very Important Mission. Do they allow mental health? Do they NOT allow mental health? I don’t know, Jim! Look I get that the Americans are supposed to be shady, double crossing sons of bitches but BOY does this still not make sense. Is it a statement of how our government likes to brush over mental illness in favor of COLD, HARD RESULTS? Maybe? Probably not?
Anyway— I do not recommend this book. I’m thinking of dropping it off at the nearest half-priced books, see if it can get me a quarter or something in return.

A poorly written, idiotic story.
This books starts out reasonably well with a somewhat intriguing premise. Unfortunately the author can't really decide where he is going with the plot and it turns into mush. The characters are not believable, especially the villain. The agencies involved are implausible. And throughout the poor writing gets in the way. The book was free and that's good. Why I bothered to read the entire thing is due to stubbornness rather than entertainment. Total waste of time.

More of a 2.5
It was OK -- nothing special, but not bad. And I could see the ending from almost the beginning of the book

I'm a fan of the Watchfinder YouTube channel so when I found out its very likable host also wrote books, I thought I'd give one a crack.
Well, ten out of ten for effort, but its self-published nature showed through, with a typo or two and an inconsistent tone of voice - these are American characters who drive trucks and 'do the math' but then they cross the Atlantic and 'hoover up', drive lorries and spell 'defense' with a very English 'c'. It's picky, but it did muddle me up a bit.
Aiming for a Solaris or 2001 style vibe, the story itself was bit ponderous. All the space jargon I could live with - it actually added a fair bit of authenticity, but it was oddly paced and the characters were certainly anonymous. Some actions taken by the cast made no sense and were a waste of everyone's time. Towards the end I saw I had 10% of the book to go and I wondered how it was going resolve itself so quickly. Well, it didn't really.
The ideas were there but never really got a chance to shine. An editor could have whipped this into a nice, entertaining shape.

Really enjoyed this quick read. I liked the well-researched plot and the main female character Sally.
It zips along at a brisk pace, offering mystery and suspense in a very readable style.
It's short enough to read in a couple of sittings, and the plot is intriguing without being complex. It has a tidy ending that begs a sequel.
It reminded me of Stanislas Lem's Solaris in theme, but it was more sci-tech thriller than hard sci-fi.
Some of the timing was a little compressed, and speaking from a pilot's perspective the flight from Russia to USA was a bit silly and the only part that jarred & didn't seem well-researched.
Andrew J Morgan writes books just like mine. Which is why I can thoroughly recommend Vessel to science buffs and thriller aficionados alike!
Looking forward to the sequel!

To be honest I cannot believe that I will give this great premise book 3 stars. I thought it was best seller, but it really disappoint me with the grammar and the ending. The story also quite incoherent. I don't know how could Mr. Morgan who amazed me with his New York Deep make story like this.
I admit that I read this book quite long because of my schedule. But when I really read it, I read it until the end. The beginning is very promising. I like the theme and characters even though they have no backbones. Or maybe I don't mind it because they don't annoyed me. Surprised! Unfortunately I don't know who's fault is this but if Mr. Morgan hired professional editor, he should change the editor because the story is jumping. Maybe it was Amazon fault. I don't know. I just know that several times I get incoherent story because the story in one page doesn't continue to the next page.
But what disappoint me the most is I don't understand what this story is all about. The antagonist motive was not clearly explained. Some things just happening out of nowhere. Worse, the ending is very "wrong". No questions answered in the end. It left reader with more questions about why, why, and why. Fortunately it was not long story so I don't wasted my time too much. But despite everything, I still give it 3 stars instead of 2 stars because it was a nice change from your typical story.

The first third of this book unfolds an intriguing story about an alien vessel that is tracking the International Space Station in space. Unexplainable things start to happen to the ISS crew which generates dozens of questions about who these aliens are and what their purpose with the crew and mankind is. Unfortunately as the rest of the story continues none of these questions are really answered. In fact there is no real 'encounter' with the aliens other then through one of the crew members.
I believe this story has the potential of being a real great plot but fizzles midway through the book. Characters die without any real explanation and the end is somewhat predictable. Good light reading but not a blockbuster of a Sci-Fi book.

Really enjoyable sci-fi read, but the ending didn't live up to expectations
I actually really enjoyed this story, the characters and the mysterious UV one. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because I thought the ending fell a bit flat for me. In the end it was tied up with a very convoluted story that I found overcomplicated and what could have been a really beautiful book. It felt a bit too much like it was tiring to tie up loose ends, instead of letting something's bring left unsaid which would have felt more graceful a landing, especially in a situation where so much suspense is built up about the mysterious object in space. Overall though I would recommend

I didn't know when I started this book that it was a self published effort, but I had my suspicions early on. It cries out for an editor but the author is not without talent, the story is well managed at a reasonable pace with some credible action set pieces, albeit not exactly big budget demanding.
Some of the characters could stand some fleshing out and a language and grammar check would spike here and there at some of the more obvious fumbles and faux pas. However, I have read worse books and I did manage to get all the way to end of this one.

Fantastic a new and vibrant take of UFO visitation
Thoroughly enjoyed this very original take on space and UFO appearance and its subsequent effect on human minds and emotions. I could not put the book down and read it through in one session. The writer brings so much depth into his characters that even those that appear briefly are fully fleshed and believable. I cried and laughed throughout the book and was thrilled with the ending. I am so look forwards to a follow up

Thought provoking sci-fi thriller
Really enjoyed this book which confounded expectations. I has thought it was shaping up to be similar to the plot of 'The Arrival ' , and yet the concept of the Infinite, and omniscient was handled well.
I enjoyed the setting in Russia, with Russian characters, and threatening presence of NASA .
Good character development, with an exceptional eye for detail especially in relation to the ISS.

Interesting story with twists
This story had me guessing different things throughout, which I really enjoy in a book. If you can look past the unrealistic parts, then you will enjoy this. I must say though, the story is very much let down by the end. I know writers want to leave readers guessing what happens next and leave it so they can write another book in a series, but this ending just really let the book down.

I am NEVER taking another Kindle recommendation. This book was bad. Started out OK, with an alien vessel appearing immediately behind the International Space Station. The ISS cosmonauts/astronaut can't take digital photos of it to send to Earth. Weird stuff happens. NASA sends a civilian SETI researcher to the ISS with a weird astronaut as her chaperone. And then things just get stupid. Trite dialogue and nonsensical plot devices.

Worth the read
Andrew Morgan does a good job of weaving this story together though there are several lapses and leaps in the storyline that are hard to justify and the ending is pretty predictable. I was very impressed with the crafting of the technical sections. Time well spent on a flight to Denver.

Slow starting, but finished fast
Although the book takes some time getting to the real story, the tale takes off and doesn't look back. It does leave many questions unanswered, however. But this didn't seem to bother me in this story as much as I would have expected. A good story with lots of twists.

A Sifi mystery
Truly an enjoyable first contact mystery. The timeframe is not far from the present, but not encumbered by loads of futuristic technology. The characters were engaging and complicated. And, I must say that I found it difficult to put down once I began reading it. The book is well worth its price and your time to read it!

A good page turner
I really enjoy space novels, and this one was no exception. A thought provoking novel, that had me interested from early on. It had good characters that you could get behind, and some you wanted to slug from behind! It flowed nicely and I'm looking forward to read other books by the author.

I enjoyed this sci-fi thriller, and it was a quick read. The back story of a mysterious space vessel looming over the international space station, along with some people with very bad intentions, and the people caught in the web between. Set in Moscow and space, it had a lot of twists and turns that kept you moving along. I'll be looking for more of Andrew Morgan's work!

Great book
A very good read although the narrative required a bit too much suspension of disbelief for my total liking. Something about American/Russian relations being a bit of a stretch. The characterisations were a bit weak, especially of the main male character of whom we know nothing except he's quite young looking. Also don't know how the bad guy got away with his crimes.

This book is really good
In the early stages, this book has the earmark of the typical alien space object drives humans crazy story. But there are other things taking place, several different story lines, that make this book quite different. Because of the different story lines, there is always something happening, and that makes this a fun fast paced read.
