About this audiobook

"You'll want to read this one with the lights on."—Katee Robert, New York Times bestselling author

Cold Eternity is the newest action-packed space horror from S.A. Barnes, perfect for fans of Severance, where desperation for eternal life leads to a fate worse than death...


Halley is on the run from an interplanetary political scandal that has put a huge target on her back. She heads for what seems like the perfect place to lay low: a gigantic space barge storing the cryogenically frozen bodies of Earth’s most fortunate citizens from more than a century ago…

The cryo program, created by trillionaire tech genius Zale Winfeld, is long defunct, and the AI hologram "hosts," ghoulishly created in the likeness of Winfeld’s three adult children, are glitchy. The ship feels like a crypt, and the isolation gets to Halley almost immediately. She starts to see figures crawling in the hallways, and there’s a constant scraping, slithering, and rattling echoing in the vents.

It’s not long before Halley realizes she may have gotten herself trapped in an even more dangerous situation than the one she was running from….

    Cold Eternity tiptoes through tension like a slow-creeping frost, sinking its teeth in when you least expect it. It’s a slow-burn horror that flirts with dread, and while the pacing wasn’t always to my taste, the story had its hooks in me.

    Let’s talk about the big bad. Disgusting. Grotesque. And absolutely perfect. It was horror done right. Unflinching, vile, and rich in detail that made my skin crawl in the best way. That imagery stuck with me, and honestly? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

    What lost me a little was the tempo. I wanted the story to move faster, to claw a little deeper sooner. Instead, it lingered—sometimes beautifully, other times frustratingly. That’s a personal preference, though, not necessarily a flaw in the writing. (I can admit, I get a little impatient when tension has prolonged far longer than my nerves can take.)

    Overall, Cold Eternity delivered a haunting, slow-drifting nightmare with enough bite to make it memorable. I just needed the cold to burn a little faster.
