Summary

Good is a construct. Evil is a virus.

The Starship Sa Niro and the Starship Sß Oubliette were in orbit around a black hole, one afternoon... by the end of the day, the crews of both starships were dead, victims of a single killer: Captain Alpha Raine.

Raine claims he's acting under the command of a voice emanating from the black hole: Mr Modo. No one believes him.Everyone knows that things go into black holes; nothing comes out.

But something inexplicable has been happening to Raine, and whatever it is seems to be spreading. An historian studying serial killers from the 21st century interviews him... and then nearly kills someone herself. It becomes increasingly undeniable that there's something inside that black hole... and it's found a way out...

Amazing Sci fi story, gripping and dark

Great storytelling, great scientific speculation, interesting futuristic characters, amazing utopian society with flaws. Space travel, black holes, philosophy and spirituality. Some dark and violent themes, but really gripping.

Gripping original sci-fi

This is a really interesting mix of hard sci-fi, horror, mystery and an existential thought experiment on what it is to be good or evil. Think Stanislaw Lem's Fisaco with a dose of Event Horizon all done with a wry smile, genius!

Genuine horror at times, some interesting ideas explored. Intrigued enough to read more by this writer.
