Revenant-X

David Wellington

Book - 2024

The crew of the Artemis - led by Firewatch agent Alexandra Petrova - have survived the furious onslaught of the Basilisk and broken through the space blockade around Paradise-1. Now they can pursue their original mission and investigate why Earth's first deep space colony has fallen silent. The answer seems obvious: the site is deserted. Or so they think. Some of the colonists remain . . . but they're no longer human. Petrova and her crew now face a desperate struggle to survive as they attempt to uncover the mystery of what has befallen the colony. If they fail, the darkness that has fallen over Paradise-1 will consume them.--

Review by Booklist Review

Alexandra Petrova, still battered from the events of Paradise-1 (2023), is leading her ragtag crew to a deserted and desolate colony planet ironically named Paradise-1. As part of an uneasy alliance, she has agreed to allow an alien presence in her mind. Her crew, which consists of a holographic pilot, a robot, and a medic with an alien device on their arm, has been dispatched to find out what happened to a colony that has gone silent. Petrova and the crew arrive to find the colony deserted and must discover what happened to over 10,000 colonists, with the first clue coming when they are attacked by an unrecognizable creature. Even with their connections back on Earth, if they discover the truth, will the powers that be let them report what they find? Fans of James S. A. Corey's Expanse series will enjoy this unfolding tale of horror and alien discovery.
