Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry, NecroTek is a gripping sci-fi thriller full of ghosts, gods, and a battle for the soul of humanity.Neither cosmic philosopher Lars Soren, hotshot pilot Bianca Petrescu, nor the high priestess Jessica McHugh—Lady Death herself—can say quite where in the galaxy they are. But after an experiment gone horribly wrong, one thing is clear: Asphodel Station isn’t in orbit around Jupiter any longer. Worse, the monsters that live out here—ancient eldritch beings thought only to exist in stories and nightmares—have now been alerted to Earth’s existence.Their army of Shoggoths is coming for us next.Humanity’s only hope for survival lies on the surface of the alien world of Shadderal, where a ghost named Lost, the last of an ancient race, still haunts the vast plains of the Field of Dead Birds. But hope has a cost. Lost tells Soren about ancient derelict spacecraft awaiting on Shadderal, shapeshifting machines that blend ultra-advanced technology with the dark powers of necromancy. These ships might just be nimble enough to defend mankind against the coming invasion.But there’s a catch: they can only be piloted by the dead.As human starfighters fall in battle, their spirits can be called back from death to pilot these ghost ships of a fallen race. But will this new necromantic technology—NecroTek—allow humanity to stand against the vast armies of the Shoggoths? And even if it can, is the war to save the human race worth the cost of its pilots’ immortal souls?

Goodreads review by Nate on July 29, 2024

If you’re looking for military science fiction mashed up with cosmic horror there’s not a ton of options out there. This book is a loving tribute to HP Lovecraft’s pulp era stories while also being a modern science fiction novel. It does get a bit cheesy but hey, it’s riffing on the old pulp magazin......more

Goodreads review by Faith on June 05, 2024

I will happily read anything by Jonathan Maberry. That being said, Necrotek was a lot to take on during the last weeks of school. Science gone horribly wrong and humanity on the edge will never be light reading. It took me a while to clear my mind enough to really start following this story. There ar......more

I listened to the audiobook wi......more

“In NecroTek, Jonathan Maberry has crafted a story so rich in horror, sci-fi, and the human spirit that it seems to defy all genres to create a niche for itself.
