The Darkness Outside Us

The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer is a mind-bending sci-fi mystery and tender love story that unfolds aboard a spaceship hurtling through the cosmos. In a future where Earth’s remaining countries can’t afford individual rescue missions, two sworn enemies find themselves alone in space. Ambrose, waking up on the Coordinated Endeavor, has no memory of the launch.

The ship’s operating system, voiced by his mother, adds to the mystery. His shipmate, the handsome and depressed Kodiak, barricades himself away. But Ambrose is on a mission—to rescue his own sister. As they unravel the ship’s secrets, Ambrose and Kodiak must learn to trust each other, especially when they discover what truly awaits them in the darkness beyond the stars.
