Customer Reviews
Great, suspenseful read
Even though I have seen the movie more than once, reading this made me jump numerous times. A quick read, and what a ride! I like the style of writing and will be reading more ADF books soon. In case you don't know, this is the story of people on a ship in space returning from a mission when a distant signal activates the ship to wake up the crew to go investigate what the signal is all about. What they find out is that the signal is not one of distress but one of warning...
Meh
Strange pacing. Never all that suspenseful. Cool new information not seen in the movie though.
Just Ok
This book was a bit of a mixed experience. The pros: it gives us a lot more detail about the crew and more details about the ship and actions. The con: all the horror and jump scare elements are missing and it hurts the overall experience
