The ship is dying. The crew is gone. Something is still moving.
Nyah Calder wakes in darkness. Not the soft glow of a scheduled revival. Not the reassuring voice of shipboard AI. Six seconds of failing light. Ten seconds of absolute black. Her cryopod is locked. The air is thinning. The ship's logs are corrupted. And outside her pod waits a cryochamber painted in blood. The CS Prospect was never built for people, only profit. When its systems begin to fail, corporate protocol chooses what matters. Cargo survives. Data survives. Crew do not. Alone, barefoot, and hunted by something that moves through the ship's bones, Nyah must navigate a dying vessel where every step makes noise, every breath carries, and the dark lasts longer each time the lights fail. The logs are gone. The escape routes are sealed. And the thing making the clicking sound is learning. BLACKOUT is a relentless sci-fi horror novel in the tradition of Alien and Dead Space, a story of corporate cruelty, sensory terror, and survival inside a machine that has already decided you're expendable. If you like isolation horror, slow-burn dread, and characters forced to outthink the dark, this is your next nightmare.
