Chasing Solace

by Karl Drinkwater

Overview

Opal's first Lost Ship was horrifying. The second will test her limits.

The legendary Lost Ships exist, and they harbour nightmarish horrors. Opal knows. She barely survived her first encounter with one.

Despite escaping, she failed to find what she was looking for: her lost sister. Now Opal must board a second derelict Lost Ship to seek answers, and this one's even more monstrous, a sickening place of death and decay.

Only the voice of Athene - Opal's AI companion - can guide her through the darkness. But can a human and an AI ever truly trust each other?

Editorial Reviews

“What a fabulous read. For me, this is very much a character driven novel, with Opal’s voice at its core. There are also beautiful and funny scenes between Opal and the AI spaceship, all set in the vast expanse of Space. You really get a sense of their remoteness and that they depend upon each other. Chasing Solace is an adventure story about a lost sister. It’s full of action, pathos and human emotion. It’s also stunning and I loved it!”

—Brew and Books Review

“Drinkwater wisely takes what the reader might expect and shifts it on its head, upping the stakes while introducing new elements we haven’t yet encountered. The lost ship in this book has been taken to the next level, with some serious creep factors that made for a fascinating and eerie setting. This was one of my favorite parts of the original book, and seeing Drinkwater continue to make the setting and lost ship almost a character unto itself continues to add dimensions to this series you don’t often find in sci-fi. Without going into spoilers, my favorite part of this book was the change in relationship between Opal and Athene, with conflict hitting in multiple and unexpected layers. A new character of sorts is introduced, with its own unique arc, which was surprisingly gut-wrenching, but that relationship between Opal and AI is what makes this series so unique.”
