If Claire’s fractured memories and the uneasy corporate debriefs kept you guessing in Dead Silence, you’ll click with NCIS agent Shannon Moss as she investigates a missing girl tied to the vanished starship USS Libra—and keeps slipping into future timelines where the world ends. Like Claire, Shannon questions what she’s seeing and what’s been done to her, and the case spirals into a chilling, reality-bending conspiracy that mirrors the Aurora’s secrets.

If the salvage-team’s discovery of the Aurora and the ensuing corporate interrogation hooked you, you’ll love following Hester Marley as she’s pulled into a murder investigation on a remote mining colony. Much like Claire unspooling what happened on the luxury liner, Hester digs through logs, corporate cover-ups, and the wreckage of her past disaster to uncover the truth—only to find the company’s fingerprints everywhere.

If living inside Claire Kovalik’s head—her panic spikes on the Aurora, the way her past warps what she perceives—was the best part of Dead Silence, dive with Gyre Price into a lethal cave system while a secretive handler, Em, manipulates every breath she takes. The scares are intimate and psychological: suit failures, hallucinations, and a toxic, codependent push-pull that echoes Claire’s fear and grit when the ship’s shadows felt personal.

If the Aurora’s frozen corridors and sudden attacks kept your pulse up, you’ll tear through this one: an amnesiac wakes on an ice-caked starship, chased by bioengineered horrors and piecing together what the mission became. Like Claire’s fight to keep her crew alive long enough to understand the nightmare they found, every chapter here is a desperate, breath-fogging bid to survive, with revelations that reframe the entire ship.

If you loved Claire leading a tiny team into the Aurora’s dark and realizing they weren’t alone, Salvaged hits the same nerve. Rosalyn Devar boards a derelict and discovers the crew aren’t dead—they’re infected by a parasitic collective that whispers and sings through their mouths. It’s tight-quarters dread, eerie logs, and intimate, escalating terror as Rosalyn tries to save who she can before the ship—and what’s inside it—claims her too.
