"Relentlessly creepy and fantastically atmospheric...Ghost Station is space horror at its best."—The New York Times
A crew must try to survive on an ancient, abandoned planet in the latest space horror novel from S.A. Barnes, acclaimed author of Dead Silence.
An abandoned planet. A hidden past. A deadly danger.
Psychologist Dr. Ophelia Bray has dedicated her life to the study and prevention of Eckhart-Reiser syndrome (ERS)—the most famous case of which resulted in the brutal murders of twenty-nine people. It's personal to her, and when she's assigned to a small exploration crew who recently suffered the tragic death of a colleague, she wants to help. But as they begin to establish residency on an abandoned planet, it becomes clear that the crew is hiding something.
And Ophelia's crewmates are far more interested in investigating the eerie, ancient planet and unraveling the mystery behind the previous colonizers' hasty departure than opening up to her.
That is, until their pilot is discovered gruesomely murdered. Is this Ophelia's worst nightmare starting—a wave of violence and mental deterioration from ERS? Or is it something even more sinister?
Terrified that history will repeat itself, Ophelia and the crew must work together to figure out what's happening. But trust is hard to come by...and the crew members aren't the only ones keeping secrets.
Also by S.A. Barnes:
Dead Silence
Cold Eternity

      Ophelia Bray has worked hard to escape the orbit of her influential family by joining a competing corporation and is attempting to salvage her career by signing on for a reclamation and exploration mission. She awakens from cold sleep en route to an abandoned habitat on the distant planet Lyria 393-C and tries to integrate into a tight-knit team dealing with a loss. From the start, the team is unsettled by materials left behind, missing equipment, and the unusual conditions in which the previous team left their habitat. As Ophelia's group tries to complete their mission and figure out the mystery of what happened on the previous assignment, they deal with their own issues, and Ophelia tries to put the secrets of her father's legacy and her family's privilege behind her. Fans of the original Alien film will enjoy this tense psychological-horror story set in a far-flung future as the crew tries to identify the forces at play while navigating the atrocities of their corporate employer, which they know all too well.
