Mass Muder in Deep Space

Nine passengers boarded the Nightflyer on a mission to find the volcryn, a fabled alien race, old as the universe itself. But something or someone found the ship's crew first and was killing them one by one. The survivors can only suspect themselves – or the captain of the Nightflyer, never seen except by hologram, but always present. As they journey deeper into space, Karoly d'Branin, leader of the mission, desperately struggles to learn the terrible secret behind the grisly murders – and wonders if even he will survive. This edition also includes five of Martin's short stories of the future.
