What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
TRAPPED IN SPACE, AMI THOUGHT SHE WAS ALONE, UNTIL HER DISTRESS CALL WAS ANSWERED BY HIM. . .
Thrum is a haunting, psychological sci-fi novella that will leave you wanting more . . .
Ami awakes from years in stasis to find she’s at the edges of deep space, and the only surviving member of her crew.
Utterly alone and unable to contact Earth, she sends out a distress beacon, not expecting a response. When she gets one from a being who calls himself Dorian, she’s welcomed onto his ship as he offers his assistance in any way he can.
But nothing on Dorian’s ship is as it seems. And as Ami tries to navigate the maze of hallways and first contact with this alien being, a deep hum begins to resonate, haunting her, as if the ship itself is whispering to her.
