Earth as we know
it no longer exists. Humanity has destroyed itself and with it any chance we
may have had of returning.
What had started as a six month voyage through the stars becomes a nightmare when the passengers are stranded in space without hope. With Earth gone, the crew and passengers of The Dawn Light are left wandering the galaxy in search of a new planet. After years of searching, one is found, but no one is prepared for the terror that takes claim of the Galaxy Cruiser when one by one the people begin to turn, mutating into flesh eating monsters.
For Scarlett, Hunter and Rolf, this means being trapped in a sardine can full of piranhas. Their only hope... to get the hell out before they’re next, but someone on the ship wants to be the only survivor to reach the new planet and will do anything to stop them. But just how far are they willing to go?
Death no longer has a limit.

Review:
So to say Airicka has impressed me again may be a tad bit of an understatement.Why do I say that? Well along with a gripping story line,a few hotties,and almost nonstop action,she has single~handedly pulled me out of my comfort zone and wrote a story that I can read eventhough it consists of two components I'm not usually inclined to read. I can watch in out space/on spaceship movies all day long but when it comes to reading that normally does not hold my interest.Now let's talk zombies,I am not a fan of zombies books or movies/t.v. shows with zombies except for Resident Evil and Warm Bodies.Yes I know it's weird to only be able to watch those two but that's just how my brain works I guess.So I am applauding this author for her amazing work of writing a story that I can read despite my hangups on those two things.
Excerpt:
“Grams?”
A series of groans escaped the partly gaping mouth.
“Hunter! Get Dr. Ora up here now!” She took her eyes away
from her grandmother just long enough to call over her shoulder. She didn’t
wait to see if he’d do it. She knew he would. She turned her attention back to
the woman on the bed. “It’s okay,” she said, putting a brave smile on her face.
“Hunter’s going to get help. Everything will be okay. I promise.”
Grams continued to watch her with emptiness in her eyes. It
was a cold sort of blankness. Scarlett had only ever seen it once before, when
she’d gone to sickbay right after the riots. She had seen the patients locked
behind the sheets of Plexiglass. There had been a sort of vacancy in their
expressions as they stared off into space. Some were mumbling to themselves,
rocking. Others just stood there, staring, saying nothing. Scarlett shuddered
at the memory, at having it forced back on her by her grandmother’s equally
jarring stare.
“Grams?” she whispered quietly, squeezing the frail fingers
clutched between both of her hands. “Can you say something?”
A puff of air slipped past her cracked lips. The tiny,
barely audible sound squeaked in the thick silence. Her mouth moved in what
looked like words, but nothing seemed to be filtering through.
“What?” Scarlet brought her ear closer, hoping to catch even
a syllable of what her grandmother was trying to say.
The arms came seemingly out of nowhere. They wound around
Scarlett with strengths that should have been impossible for an old woman on
her sickbed. She was dragged forward, landing in a flailing heap across her
grandmother’s thin chest, her arms trapped at her sides. The pillow soaked her
scream. A high hiss split the air, amplifying the panic running ice cold
through her veins. The top of her knees struck the side of the mattress as she
kicked, fighting to be free of the sour tang coating the inside of her mouth
with every effected breath.
Pain so blinding, so white-hot, she nearly passed out from
it, splintered through her shoulder. Something warm and sticky rushed down her
arm. The sickening scent of blood perfumed the air. Scarlett shrieked. By some
miracle, she was suddenly free, flying backwards and landing in a dazed heap on
the floor beneath the bed. Numbing madness sunk cold fingers into her brain,
seemingly freezing the world around her to a syrupy speed. She was only loosely
aware of the groan above her, even less aware when the mattress squeaked and
sheets rustled. The erratic pounding between her ears had only one focus—escape.
The carpet sliced through the
soft tissues of her knees as she crawled to the door. She stumbled through just
as another unearthly moan pummeled the chaos drumming within the walls of her
skull. She scrambled, half-turning, half-falling onto her back, as she whipped
around to see the deformed figure behind her, dressed in her grandmother’s
floral nightdress. Amazon: http://smarturl.it/WhenNightFalls
