A WOMAN ON THE RUN. A CAPTAIN ADRIFT IN SPACE. ONE OF THEM IS INFECTED WITH AN ALIEN PARASITE.

In this dark science fiction thriller, a young woman must confront her past so the human race will have a future.

Rosalyn Devar is on the run from her famous family, the bioengineering job she's come to hate, and her messed-up life. She's run all the way to outer space, where she's taken a position as a "space janitor," cleaning up ill-fated research expeditions. But no matter how far she goes, Rosalyn can't escape herself. After too many mistakes on the job, she's given one last chance: take care of salvaging the Brigantine, a research vessel that has gone dark, with all crew aboard thought dead.

But the Brigantine's crew are very much alive--if not entirely human. Now Rosalyn is trapped on board, alone with a crew infected by a mysterious parasitic alien. The captain, Edison Aries, seems to still maintain some control over himself and the crew, but he won't be able to keep fighting much longer. Rosalyn and Edison must find a way to stop the parasite's onslaught...or it may take over the entire human race. Adventure Fiction First Contact Horror Science Fiction Scary

This was initially a hard audiobook for me to get into and that's partly because of the atmosphere that lingers throughout this whole read. Emily Woo Zeller does an amazing job of portraying the different characters as well as expressing the gravity of the situation that they are wrestling with. This is the first time in my years of listening to audiobooks when I can confidently say the audiobook was way better than how I would have read this book in my mind. I could not have done justice to that.

Salvaged is the story of fighting for ones' humanity when the pull from the other side is too powerful. It is about finding the one thing that is so precious to us that it grounds us to our deepest selves and our memories, while we are floating away in space.

With powerful characters that question themselves and each other at every move and are somehow working together towards one mission, I loved the writing and plot of this book. Dark science fiction is a realm that I had not explored before and now was my time. Salvaged is a wonderful introduction to the genre. Absolutely loved it!

An atmosphere that I could not have created myself
