Welcome to my Monday Minis

For today I’ll be reviewing Derelict by Albert Berg

My Review

When an E-class space ship docks at an orbital station without heeding to or sending any response, a team is assembled to enter and investigate.

Available information says the ship was the Persephone and it was supposed to have a full passenger roster and a cargo load. But when the team of three men begin to search the ship, they quickly realize something is very wrong. There is no evidence people or cargo were ever aboard the ship.

As they explore further, things begin to go weird. Doors are there, then not there. Corridors stretch on to impossible lengths and become dead ends where they shouldn’t.

 The team fears they may never find their way out. They believe the ship will never let them go.

This is a quick read at around 33 pages, so I zipped right through it. I was reminded of the movie Sphere, except this takes place in space, not under water.

I still felt the claustrophobic effect of being trapped with no help close by. Of the possibility their minds might be playing tricks on them. Or maybe something else was there with them. Something malignant, evil. Toying with them.

Eerie with a twisted ending.
