Cold Eternity

"You'll want to read this one with the lights on."—Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author

Cold Eternity is the newest action-packed space horror from S.A. Barnes perfect for fans of Severance, where desperation for eternal life leads to a fate worse than death...


Halley is on the run from an interplanetary political scandal that has put a huge target on her back. She heads for what seems like the perfect place to lay low: a gigantic space barge storing the cryogenically frozen bodies of Earth’s most fortunate citizens from more than a century ago…

The cryo program, created by trillionaire tech genius Zale Winfeld, is long defunct, and the AI hologram "hosts," ghoulishly created in the likeness of Winfeld’s three adult children, are glitchy. The ship feels like a crypt, and the isolation gets to Halley almost immediately. She starts to see figures crawling in the hallways, and there’s a constant scraping, slithering, and rattling echoing in the vents.

It’s not long before Halley realizes she may have gotten herself trapped in an even more dangerous situation than the one she was running from….

Holy creepy vibes, my book peeps!! 🙌 Imagine yourself alone (well, essentially) on a spaceship, level upon level filled with cryogenically frozen people and a theater housing AI holograms!! Oh, and let’s not forget that you’re also stuck with something else that lurks in the dark and is very hungry… 😳🫣 Heebie jeebies galore with this one!! Just another reason why S.A. Barnes is an auto-buy author for me!! Highly recommend!! 👏 Thank you to NetGalley, Tor Nightfire, and S.A. Barnes for the opportunity to read the eARC in exchange for my honest review!! ❤️
