The salvage crew says the ship is clear. But Leo sees figures in the vents.
Rookie engineer Leo Gannet expected routine recovery work when the lost vessel Carpathia reappeared after seventeen years adrift. No distress signal. No logs. No crew. Just a ship returned from silence.
But inside the quiet corridors, something waits. Pale figures with blurred faces. Uniforms that don’t match the manifest. And recordings that speak his name before he arrives.
As Leo moves deeper into the derelict, the ship begins to recognize him, not as a stranger, but as something unfinished. Something it has been trying to remember.
The Carpathia doesn’t want survivors. It wants someone who can stay.
A standalone sci-fi mystery in the Zero Hour, Beyond the Hull series.

About the author
Ceri Clark
Hi, I’m Ceri Clark, a Welsh author who writes stories that twist history, spark curiosity, and entertain. My Heinous History series uncovers strange true tales, including dancing plagues, corpse trials, and Henry VIII’s royal bottom-wiper. (Yes, really.) I also write fantasy, romance, sci-fi, and horror because one genre just isn’t enough. I live in Wales with my husband, son, and Cookie the dog. I love hoodies, rock music, and getting lost in stories, whether I’m reading them or writing them.View all audiobooks by Ceri Clark
