Publisher's Summary

When Shin-Sho has a problem, EETs are the answer.

Zilfaquir is having a bad day. Shin-Sho Corporation dispatched his emergency engineering team (EET) to the remote ice planet, Xiao 2, to investigate a communications blackout. The Xiao 2 facility, composed of three subsurface ocean stations, awaits his team below hundreds of meters of ice and kilometers underwater.

Upon arrival, he discovers the Xiao 2 facility has experienced an epidemic, leaving most of the station’s personnel either dead or dying. Or transforming. Worse, the stations are in danger of imploding due to sabotage.

Armed with formidable mechanical suits, arrays of tools, weapons, and explosives, an EET is a force to be reckoned with. Whether a mission requires construction, destruction, hostage rescues, or repairing nuclear reactors, EETs always succeed. But what Zilf and his team find below the ice is more than any EET can handle.

From Paul E. Cooley, Parsec Award-winning author of The Black and The Derelict Saga, Station 3 is a sci-fi/survival/horror thriller in the spirit of the Dead Space and Alien franchises.

Pleasantly Surprised

I picked up this book as it suggested a similar experience to Alien and Dead Space. I haven't read any of Mr Cooleys other books so I didn't quite know what to expect.

Overall I enjoyed this listen, it definitely leans much more in the direction of Dead Space in its interactions and story, but some Alien influence is seen in some of the earlier stages as well.

The narration was top notch, and while he doesn't have a great falsetto for female voices, he did very well at imparting the emotions of all the characters, and kept them distinct enough that I wasn't confused.

The Persian influence of Zilf was very organic to his character and didn't feel shoehorned or overused. It is a good example of how to use cultural overtones, unlike the broad cudgel it seems to be in the Alien Novels, "Colony War" and "Inferno's Fall".

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
