Summary

ENDLESS DARK.
ENDLESS TERROR.

Paradise-1. Earth's first deep space colony. For thousands of colonists, it was an opportunity for a new life.

Until it went dark. No communication has been received from the colony for months.

It falls to Firewatch Agent Alexandra Petrova and the crew of the Artemis to investigate.

What they find is more horrifying than they could have imagined.

Paradise-1 begins a terrifying new trilogy of survival and exploration in deep space, from Clarke Award-nominated author David Wellington.

'A captivating, eerie story with such engaging characters you won't want to say goodbye at the end' S. A. Barnes, author of Dead Silence

'Wellington skillfully combines hard sci-fi worldbuilding with tense mystery . . . Readers will be on the edges of their seats' Publishers Weekly (starred review)

'Intensely creepy worldbuilding' Library Journal

great sci-fi horror

Space horror? Just take my money.

This chunky book was a great listen, i really enjoyed most of it. The story was fascinating, the characters interesting, and it had AI-s and a robot.
I loved the horror elements, and how the virus worked.
I wish the robot was more robot like and his connection to the humans he just met wasn't 0-100 in milliseconds. I wished for more focus on them. And them to be voiced better tbh.
The pacing... yes that could have done with a bit more work. The end is dragged out to the point it nearly lost me, and it put a lengthy halt to the events.
I realised too late it's going to be a trilogy, i would have left it unread till it's all out otherwise, but i guess I'll just have to read it now one by one. Roll on August 2024...
Overall it's a great sci-fi horror, and looking forward to continuing the series.

I really loved this

I really liked this book and the horrors within, my only issue is the end is a little abrupt. I won't spoil but I think it should have ended a little earlier.
