From Within, A Darkness
A mining operation deep in space. A crew of five, a security team of four. It's drudge work; routine, repetitive. Until it isn't.
For some of the crew, there comes a growing sensation that they're not alone on the asteroid. Something is out there, waiting to be found, in the darkness. But does the biggest threat come from outside? Or from within?
In the meantime, an ailing ship limps toward them, its own crew oblivious to the horror that awaits them. They come seeking help, but who are the rescuers and who, if anyone, will be the rescued?

“Attend the soul and keep the watch, as from within, a darkness comes”
Ray Adams’ ‘From Within, A Darkness,’ is a cocktail of classic science fiction tropes, thrilling momentum, established and relatable character relationships as well as including a cat who sometimes appears and concerns people. This novel is energetic and engaging, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.
Having devoured Adams’ non-scifi works (under his name, James Kinsley), I was not sure what to expect. Sometimes, when a writer genre-jumps it can cause disruptions or disorientate the narrative, however, this did not happen. ‘From Within, A Darkness,’ read as fluently and consistently as any other good piece of Scifi, and I was hooked from page one.
READ IF YOU LOVE: Gareth L Powell, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C Clarke, Edward Ashton, Adam Roberts, Aliya Whitely, Chana Porter
