A hidden darkness stirs in this locked-room mystery from the author of William. There are many ways to die on Mars. Only one way to find the truth. The human crew sent to prepare the first-ever colony on Mars arrives to find their brand new base half-destroyed and the three robots sent to set it up in disarray—the machines have formed alliances, chosen their own names, and picked up some truly disturbing beliefs. Each must be interrogated. Their stories analyzed. But one of them is missing. In this barren, hostile landscape, even machines have nightmares, and the line between human and artificial intelligence blurs. The astronauts will need to examine their own stories and wrestle their own demons before it’s too late. In this wicked, taut, one-sitting read, Mason Coile blends science fiction and psychological horror in a story that terrifies and unnerves as it engages some of humanity’s deepest questions.

First, I want to thank NetGalley for allowing me to read this in advance. As promised, I will give you my honest review.
This book is amazing! The book hooked me from the beginning. It held my attention the entire time. This is a fast-paced science fiction quick read. The book is about a crew sent to Mars to prepare the first-ever colony. Once they arrive, they find their base half-destroyed, and their three robots sent to set up in disarray. All kinds of stuff are going on y’all. We got aliens, murders, alliances, and other kinds of stuff. It’s a who done it Sci-Fi, and it’s exceptional! The end is very satisfying too. I will definitely purchase a physical copy.
I could not read this book fast enough! There were so many dramatic things happening at the same time with jump scares and twists! However, it just needed an epilogue (or just one more chapter) for me to give it 5 Stars instead of 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
