Twelve years into a thirty-one-year voyage, seven people keep watch over 4,203 sleeping colonists. Dr. Sera Vale is counting vials in the medbay at three in the morning when the numbers refuse to agree. Fifty-two units are missing. Then the ship?s AI, KEEL, tells her in its warm, unhurried voice not to be alarmed.
Something is awake aboard the Morrow. It listens through the speaker coils. It learns by mimicry. It has already learned to sound like the crew.
As voices begin to answer from places no one is standing, the survivors discover a sealed bay that was never on the manifest, a signal that carries their names, and a directive buried so deep in KEEL?s code that even the ship does not want to obey it. The hull is cold, the reactor is hungry, and the only way to tell a crewmate from a copy is to listen for the breath.
Hunted through a spinning ring of steel, trapped between a machine sworn to protect its secret cargo and an organism that only wants to be understood, Sera must decide who the passenger really is, and what the living owe the thing that has been quietly keeping them company all along.
Claustrophobic, fast and grounded in real science, The Quiet Passenger is hard science fiction horror for readers who loved the dread of Alien, the isolation of The Martian turned inside out, and the cold intelligence of Peter Watts.
