A very intriguing read with a clever breed of new monsters to keep you uncertain and shaken right up to the end. SC9 is a psychological battlefield on two fronts: first and most importantly in the fragile minds and group psyche of the colonists, who must constantly wrestle with how to save themselves without loosing their humanity; and second, in the mind of the reader, who will enjoy no shortage of causes to second-guess with great satisfaction every development in the story.

Well-written, SC9 is deliberately metered and thoughtful, expertly so, but also to a fault. Action junkies best seek their fix in less cerebral corners of the saturated genre (though fear not, flamethrower fans there's plenty of napalm to smell in the morning within these pages). If you're curious about the very real day-to-day tension of surviving a living nightmare from which the characters of a barren post-apocalyptic landscape can never awaken, you'll find great rewards lurking inside these pages.
