Ivo Grobler: Voices in the Void, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Darkness Hunts Them All Voices in the Void is a space opera thriller set in the Boöte's Void, exploring the minds of a fractured crew pitted against impossible odds. The crew's survival depends on their ability to navigate never-before-seen alien worlds and their hostile hosts while establishing the hidden motives that drive them. Managing one crisis after the next - any of which could undo them all - they come face to face with a force poised to engulf the entire universe.

To save everyone, Asthorn had to kill them all. Will his tenets and resolve be enough to see his mad plan through? What happens when he begins to doubt his own mission? Will he break his vow and make himself a hypocrite and a murderer? Kirra Blackwood, a Marine as tough as they come, finds herself shattered and alone. Her unconventional heritage has always haunted her. Rejected and abandoned by her own mother, she grew up with the unshakable sense that she was not good enough - until he noticed her. After that, all she wanted was to be left alone. Felix Scott has always been devoted to his crew; pity it was not enough to keep them alive. They would dive into the void at his command but would they pull him from it? How many losses are too many? Does loyalty run deeper than skin deep? Behind every medal Viona Spencer wore was another reason to feed her addiction. How could she mentor her rookie copilot towards excellence while shielding him from the same pitfalls that had swallowed her? A wide-eyed youth eager to prove himself to his fellow Marines, Sevinc Baker can take their hazing. But will he still fight by their side when he discovers they blame him for all their misfortune and see him as expendable?

A voyage to explore the universe's largest known void, millions of light years across, yet seemingly empty. For the crew of the Star Ship Concordia, it seems poised to be their most mundane mission yet, but from the moment they arrive nothing is as they expected. Cast into an abyss that leered back at them from the very start, they find themselves drawn deeper and deeper into a world beyond their imaginings, a place with no mercy or care for the sanctity of life. Will the insatiable pull of the Void - a place all but empty - overwhelm them before they find a way out or will they succumb to their own torments?
