"Aliens meets Psycho with a chilling mystery set on a haunted spaceship in this illustrated edition of a classic novella, soon to be an original series on SYFY, by the #1 bestselling author of A Game of Thrones. When a scientific expedition is launched to study a mysterious alien race, the only ship available is the Nightflyer, a fully autonomous vessel manned by a single human. But Captain Royd Eris remains locked away, interacting with his passengers only as a disembodied voice--or a projected hologram no more substantial than a ghost. Yet that's not the only reason the ship seems haunted. The team's telepath, Thale Lasamer, senses another presence aboard the Nightflyer--something dangerous, volatile, and alien. Captain Eris claims to know nothing about the elusive intruder, and when someone, or something, begins killing off the expedition's members, he's unable--or unwilling--to stem the bloody tide. Only Melantha Jhirl, a genetically enhanced outcast with greater strength, stamina, and intelligence than other humans, has a chance of solving the mystery--and stopping the malevolent being that's wiping out her shipmates. But first she has to keep herself alive"-- "Aliens meets Psycho with a chilling mystery set on a haunted spaceship in this illustrated edition of a classic novella, soon to be an original series on SYFY, by the #1 bestselling author of A Game of Thrones.

Not bad, but starts out strong and ends formulaic.

A real page turner. Short as well, finished in 3 nights. But leaves most of the world building behind, and maybe I'm used to expecting more of that in sci-fi.

Would be a great "Twilight Zone" episode. ( )

Phenomenal. I'm not joking - this is the best work of science fiction I've ever read. ( )

I was very curious to see what a horror story by George R.R. Martin would look like, given I only know him from Game of Thrones and other fantasy works. Nightflyers is, at times, really effective and, at other times, really flat. The characters in particular often feel like cliches. There are some really effective horror moments, though.

So, all in all, a mixed bag. Definitely worth a read for his fans, though. ( )

Shocked to receive such a slim book, but the story within is only a novella. It will be interested to watch the Nightflyers Netflix series after reading this to see how they’ve extended the material, for surely they have — there’s hardly enough here to make a long film. I found the story a little hard to get into, though once things go wrong, it got interesting. The concept behind this sci-fi jaunt is interesting, though hardly unique, and something about the overall story seems weak. I wish I’d seen this can also be bought with other stories rather than have paid for it as a separate book. I’m glad to have read it, but don’t feel I would have missed much if I hadn’t. ( )

There were aspects that I enjoyed, and some that bothered me.

There were many moments of beautiful prose, complete with vivid descriptions that set the stage well. The plot was interesting and the ending relatively satisfying.

However, the characters felt very flat to me. I had no connection with any of them and could honestly barely tell them apart. The sexual references/language felt very forced and contributed nothing to the story.

Overall, I did somewhat enjoy it, though I won't likely ever return to it or recommend it to others. ( )
