I was white-knuckling the book with wide eyes – I’m sure it’d be pretty comical to someone watching me! This book was creepy as hell, GORY, and rather disturbing at times. (Um, the fester?! Eww?!?!) It was SO FREAKY AND INTENSE. The monsters in this book – mourners, weepers, griefers – were EPIC!! The fact that they kill with sound is unique and quite terrifying. I’ve been craving some YA horror that’s actually scary, and this one delivered. (Also, there was an unnecessary comparison of his shrunken balls to walnuts, like why?) But in the first few pages this book grabs you by the balls (see, now he’s got me talking about balls) and doesn’t let go! When I first met Tuck, it seemed like his narrative was trying too hard to be a cocky teenage male. Holy WOW, that was intense!!!! I have to admit that this one started out a bit rocky. but on the John Muir, the screams are the last thing you'll hear. But their plan is the only hope for their crews, their families, and themselves. Tuck and Laura didn’t bargain on working together, or battling mutant aliens who use sound to kill. Laura belongs to a shipraiding family, who are funded by a group used to getting what they want. Parks and mountains are preserved in space.

Tuck has been in stasis on the USS John Muir, a ship that houses Earth’s most valued artifacts-its natural resources. Set against a future of marauding space scavengers and deadly aliens who kill with sound, here is a frightening, fast-paced YA adventure from the author of the acclaimed horror novel, Shutter.
