The Shock #3
Border Shock
The only thing Guerra hasn't encountered on this ship is his own death—which lurks around every corner.
When Guerra finally makes it back inside The ARK, he teams up with a strange loner who claims to know exactly where to go. He trusts her no more than he trusts himself, and that isn't saying a lot.
They'll have to wind their way through the dark corners of the quickly crumbling ship, encountering hellish dangers among the shadows and ruins of the stranger's homeland.
Undead priests? Check.
Monstrous aliens? Yup.
An easy way out? Absolutely...not.
As Guerra and this mysterious girl weave a path of destruction through the bowels of The ARK, he comes to learn the truth—a truth the may cost him his life. If he's lucky, that might be all it costs him. Book Three in the Shock series.
Fans of Alien , Event Horizon , and Doom will enjoy this novel of science fiction horror. Check it out if you like horror books set in space.
...there's snippets of Doom, Dawn of the Dead, and several other shows... Amazon Review Def very creepy too but in a demonic and interesting way. —Amazon Review

Finally better than the last two
This is one of those "one step forward, too steps back" situations. The author finally figured out how to write a novel without skipping explanations. There's still a ton of editing errors. Dude, proof reading and spell check are your friends, not enemies. The book starts out with the hapless main character floating through space with minimal oxygen.... that lasts for several minutes despite it constantly reminding you that the oxygen is running out. He eventually meets a new character with interesting powers that come and go when it's convenient for the plot. Sterling shows up at the very end and has his Bond villian exposition moment. At this point I didn't even care what his motivations were. Just finish the book already. It's played off as this huge surprise but it's obvious to anyone who's managed to pay attention this long. And it still makes no sense. And then boom he's dead. The ending of the book isn't finished. It just stops with an Inception style ambiguous ending. I absolutely hate this cheap ploy. You put the readers through three sub par books and then can't even be bothered to write an actual ending? I don't care how successful or unknown an author is, ambiguous endings like this are a cheap trick and infuriating.
