Nightflyers goodreads7/7/2023 Stephen King once wrote a book about a mysterious traveler who flew a private plane and killed his victims-he was known as the Nightflyer, don't know if that was a factor in the naming of this tale. On a side note- I thought it rather interesting that the ship is called the Nightflyer. Jhril tries to work with the Captain to solve the mystery of the killings and what exactly is going on with the Nightflyer. The main heroine of this tale is Melantha Jhril, a human born on Prometheus- she is an "improved" version of humanity- faster, stronger and highly intelligent. The Nightflyer seems to be haunted.įrom the mysterious Captain Royd-who never appears in person and only via hologram to the odd things that seem to be happening on the Nightflyer, to finally when, one by one, the crew members are being killed off. A team of human scientists charter the space ship- Nightflyer to take them on a rendezvous with the Volcryn. Nightflyers continues this excellent trend.Ī mysterious phenomena is traveling through space. My only previous experience with his sci-fi stories were the Tuf Voyaging series and the Wild Cards stories. Martin is best known for his fantasy tales- but his sci-fi tales are also quite excellent.
