Their mission was to recover an ancient derelict from the farthest edge of the Sol system. What they’ve found could spell the end of humanity.
Trapped on the Mira, Corporal Kalimura must lead her squad of injured marines to safety. But, aboard the derelict, every shadow is a possible threat, and around every corner lurks another hazard. Without life support or gravity, and only their suit lights to see by, they must explore the ancient wreck to find a way to communicate with their ship and escape their hellish prison.
The remaining crew aboard S&R Black struggle to tow Mira out of the path of an incoming Kuiper Belt Object only to realize that the non-sentient hazard is the least of their worries.

Wow, wow, wow! We just jump straight back into this FUBAR mission! Very little re-cap, very little set up. It would definitely suck to skip book 1 before starting this one. You would be totally lost. I personally loved the lack of re-cap because I was fresh from book 1. I probably would have liked more re-cap / set up if I had been waiting a year plus for the next book though.
The characters are more developed in Tomb. Much more well rounded. We got to know everyone better. I loved learning more about them. This made a HUGE difference between book 1 and 2. :)
The plot, the setting, the action, the questions…. all of it was so addictive! I could not put this book down. I flew through it and was left craving book 3. I HAD to know what was going to happen next!
Aliens?? Yesssss! The aliens are so cool. :o I love the concept of how they look and move. I don’t want to spoil it, but it felt really unique and fresh. Loved the descriptions.
Tomb was so good. Very entertaining for all 10+ hours. It honestly did not feel that long at all. The plot, setting, and characters are all given more depth. I loved ever second of this book. Just straight up fun time!
