If you connected with Boss as she led a small team into the deadly mysteries of the Dignity Vessel and its lethal stealth fields, you’ll click with Halmey Dz. In Ancestral Night, Halmey and her shipmind, Singer, stumble on outlawed alien tech and a secret worth killing for. The blend of salvage work, fraught decisions, and a woman’s grit in the void mirrors Boss’s dives—right down to the moral knots that come with touching power you don’t fully understand.
You liked how Boss sets a concrete objective—board the wreck, map it, survive the traps, uncover the truth—and pursues it with relentless focus. Rendezvous with Rama channels that same mission energy as Commander Norton’s team systematically explores the alien vessel Rama. Like the methodical dives into the Dignity Vessel’s booby-trapped corridors, every new chamber raises the stakes and reframes the goal, turning exploration itself into a nail-biting objective.
If the tight, close-quarters tension of Boss and her crew creeping through dark decks—and that chilling "Room of Lost Souls" backstory—grabbed you, Dead Silence will hit the same nerves. Claire Kovalik’s salvage team finds a long-lost luxury liner adrift, and what starts as a routine claim spirals into hallucinations, whispers, and brutal secrets lurking in sealed rooms. It’s the same intimate crawl through a corpse of a ship, with the dread ratcheting up door by door.
If you enjoyed being in Boss’s head—her calculations, fears, and split-second calls as she threads lethal tech fields—Murderbot’s first-person narration will be catnip. In All Systems Red, a security unit guarding a survey team uncovers tampered maps and corporate sabotage, then has to improvise under fire. Like Boss weighing every corridor in the Dignity Vessel, Murderbot’s voice makes each tactical choice and moral dilemma feel immediate, personal, and tense.
If the nasty surprises tied to stealth tech and the way Boss’s past with the "Room of Lost Souls" keeps recontextualizing the present thrilled you, Revenger brings that same rush. Arafura Ness joins a crew that cracks ancient "baubles" for priceless relics, only to run into treachery, bone-reading skulls, and the infamous Bosa Sennen. The twists keep re-arming the story—much like every new find aboard the Dignity Vessel flips what Boss thought she knew.
