Yeah...if like me, you were expecting for this to be something more akin to Dead Space, Sunshine, and Annihilation, best out this lacklustre scifi book back on the shelf. I lost interest around chapter 10, but touched it out in hopes that there would be some epic twist ending, but no, it just kept trudging through one-note monotony. I forget the name of the short comic about an astronaut trying to make it back to his ship in an advanced AI spacesuit, but the suit keeps eliminating non-essential parts of his body in order for him to survive and keep moving. But that short comic alone does more with terror, suspense, and space tech than this overlong book.
