Inhuman (The Dark Between Stars Book 1) Kindle Edition

by R.M. Olson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 9 ratings

A remote resource planet. A mysterious illness. And a rescue team frighteningly out of their depth.

It was supposed to have been an easy job: go in, kidnap or kill his mark, get out. Shine's done plenty of jobs like this before, no problem. But when it all goes suddenly wrong, he has only one option left to save his skin.

He finds himself an unwilling volunteer on a medical mission to a remote resource planet. It sent in a distress call a week earlier, and then promptly went silent. No one knows why, and no one can contact them to find out. And, Shine is increasingly beginning to realize, every person on this mission is politically unimportant--a perfect crew of disposables. Their mission is to go in and figure out what happened, and save whoever they can. But he's smart enough to realize that anything that could cause an entire mining colony to go silent is probably not something accustomed to leaving its victims alive. And after meeting the rest of the crew, he's not sure that they're any safer than what's waiting for him out on the planet ...

Set in the world of The Devil and the Dark, Inhuman is the first book in R.M. Olson's gripping new space-horror series, The Dark Between Stars.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

R.M. Olson writes feel-good space opera featuring diverse casts, found families, and loads of action. R.M. has ridden the Trans Siberian railway, jumped off the highest bungee jump in the world, gone cage-diving with great white sharks, faced down a charging buffalo bull, and knows how to milk a goat. Currently they reside in Alberta, Canada with their four children, three cats, and a dog the size of a small bear. R.M. goes hiking and skiing more often than they probably have time for, eats more chocolate than is probably good for them, and reads more books than is probably prudent.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Immediately hooked on this new series

    This was a thrill ride from start to finish. I love the cast of characters that Olson brought together for this series, especially Puppy. I am unhealthily invested in Puppy. The horror concept was really intriguing, and it took several fun turns I didn't see coming. I can't wait for the next book!!

    I was pleased to discover this was the same world as the devil and the dark series.
    I have to say so far I have loved every striy from the author and wish I hadn't read them so I could read them all fresh again.
    Another great story and looking forward to reading more of the series as they come.

    I’ve read all Olson’s books and enjoyed every one of them. But this is the first one that made me cry, and that takes a lot.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 9, 2024

    R. M. Olson has written a stirring story about a small disparate group of people all possessed of their own demons sent to a resource planet as a medical emergency team. Whilst action packed it is also emotionally charged as they try to come up with a cure and deal with their own situations.
    This is not your usual gang ho adventure but delves deeper into what makes a person human.
