In The Time Of Dying by Kristine Williams

 

Earth was used up, and humanity had a choice – leave, or perish.  And so they left, in great ships full of colonists and scientists, with soldiers to protect them all.  Hurling through space in a timeless sleep.  Waiting for the ship’s computers to find their new home and wake them.

But when they wake, they realize things have gone horribly wrong.  They aren’t where they should be.  The ship has malfunctioned and landed them on an alien planet not even on the charts.  A world bathed in permanent darkness due to an unusual orbit.

After a single night of fire, death, sabotage and destruction, this world is now their home.

They’ll have to make a life here without going mad in the eternal darkness. A task made even more dangerous when they realize they’re not alone.

Note: In The Time Of Dying contains some harsh language.

I am reading this one, and enjoying it so far. The writing is well done, and moves along well.

I find the background hard to handle, and wish the author hadn’t tried for the effect, however appropriate to the story.

I look forward to reading more as I have time.
