Reseña: A gorgeous illustrated edition of a classic novella from the #1 bestselling author of A Game of Thrones--a chilling mystery set on a seemingly haunted spaceship now an original series on SYFY. Featuring fifteen original illustrations this is the definitive edition of an electrifying tale that combines the deep-space thrills of Alien the psychological horror of The Shining and of course the inimitable vision of George R. R. Martin. When a scientific expedition is launched to study a mysterious alien race the only ship available is the Nightflyer a fully autonomous vessel manned by a single human. But Captain Royd Eris remains locked away interacting with his passengers only as a disembodied voice--or a projected hologram no more substantial than a ghost. Yet thats not the only reason the ship seems haunted. The teams telepath Thale Lasamer senses another presence aboard the Nightflyer--something dangerous volatile and alien. Captain Eris claims to know nothing about the elusive intruder and when someone or something begins killing off the expeditions members hes unable--or unwilling--to stem the bloody tide. Only Melantha Jhirl a genetically enhanced outcast with greater strength stamina and intelligence than other humans has a chance of solving the mystery--and stopping the malevolent being thats wiping out her shipmates. But first she has to keep herself alive.
