Soon to be an original series on SYFY, a gorgeous illustrated edition of a classic novella from the #1 bestselling author of A Game of Thronesa chilling mystery set on a seemingly haunted spaceship. Featuring fifteen original illustrations, this is the definitive edition of an electrifying tale that combines the deep-space thrills of Alien, the psychological horror of The Shining, and, of course, the inimitable vision of George R. R. Martin. When a scientific expedition is launched to study a mysterious alien race, the only ship available is the Nightflyer, a fully autonomous vessel manned by a single human. But Captain Royd Eris remains locked away, interacting with his passengers only as a disembodied voiceor a projected hologram no more substantial than a ghost. Yet thats not the only reason the ship seems haunted. The teams telepath, Thale Lasamer, senses another presence aboard the Nightflyersomething dangerous, volatile, and alien. Captain Eris claims to know nothing about the elusive intruder, and when someone, or something, begins killing off the expeditions members, hes unableor unwillingto stem the bloody tide. Only Melantha Jhirl, a genetically enhanced outcast with greater strength, stamina, and intelligence than other humans, has a chance of solving the mysteryand stopping the malevolent being thats wiping out her shipmates. But first she has to keep herself alive.

Book 9: I watched the only season of the series based on this book. The basic story is the same: on the way to intercept an alien ship, the crew of The Nightflyer experience strange things. Gory deaths occur. The story isn‘t substantial enough for multiple seasons—the important plot points were covered in one. The characters are very different, but are more fleshed out and interesting in the series. It‘s good, but not his best. #30booksin30days

Unusual. It took me a while to get into the story and the style of writing (it‘s the first book by Martin that I‘ve read), but I was hooked by about the halfway mark. It‘s an interesting short story which manages to cover quite a bit of ground in a limited number of pages. It definitely hasn‘t made it onto my list of “all-time favorites”, but overall I quite enjoyed it and can appreciate what it has to offer. 🌚✨

As with most short stories, there is so much potential in this world to take it to all sorts of places. I look forward to the TV series to see how they translate the story, and if they explore further around the events in the book. Overall a nice quick and fast paced read
