Publisher's summary
They're stranded. They're scared. But they're not alone. Something is waiting for them...in the darkness of the ship.
In the distant future, a team of diplomats embark on a mission to make contact with an authoritarian ship that has gone radio silent. It's supposed to be a simple job, a look-see operation to make sure something terrible hasn't happened. The leader is prone to fits of violence, and there are rumors of previous human rights abuses.
Only, when they arrive, the ship is...empty. The question is - where did everybody go?
Armed only with riot gear, they explore the ship, intent on discovering the truth about what's happened on The Ark. What they find will be more nightmarish than anything they've seen before.
Indeed, it's worse than anything they could imagine.
Dead Shock is a creepy atmospheric novel from the author of The Playroom and Party Snatchers.
Fans of H.P. Lovecraft and Jeff Vandermeer’s Annihilation will love this claustrophobic, terrifying book. It's equal parts horror and soft science fiction. Think Alien meets Dawn of the Dead.
A mix of body horror, action, and sci-fi, Dead Shock is the first in the Shock series of novels. It's the kind of dystopian sci-fi or dystopian horror you'd come to expect from Wallace Henry. So, grab a space suit, grab a force gun, and hold your breath, because nobody can breathe in space.

Few know the warship’s actual name. But everyone has heard the rumors. The PUV James Keeling can do something no other vessel in existence can do—slip into another dimension, travel undetected, then re-emerge onto our plane and surprise enemy targets. But the thing that makes the Crypt unique also makes it a nightmare for those onboard; interdimensional travel causes hallucinations, violent behavior, and psychotic breakdowns. Keeling could be the Union’s greatest weapon, a game-changing asset that can defeat the bloodthirsty zealots of the Purist Nation, the Union’s mortal enemy.

There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

We were outnumbered, outfought. Mankind was about to fall to the alien Flock. Our only chance was a desperate gamble, transforming Tier One SpecOps agents into deadly super soldiers. In the end, we won the war, but we lost the peace. The Flock surrendered and spent the next two hundred years making reparations, indentured to humanity, doing everything humans did not want to do. And the evolved super soldiers were consigned to an endless sleep. Ready if ever needed, but in time they became myths. Abandoned and forgotten.

Story
Two hundred years ago, aliens invaded Earth. A violent war followed. The enemy won. Some of us escaped, most of us didn’t. On Proxima they flourished - the invasion forgotten. On Earth we floundered - the horror began. Their world is advanced, peaceful, and secure. Our world is broken, savage, and overrun. A new invasion is coming. A hunger that has swallowed half the universe. They don’t care which planet we live on. They want to end us all. But where there is life, there is hope. And where there is hope, there are heroes. This time, vengeance will be ours.

Earth’s first colony ship finally reaches the target world. The excitement of planetfall is indescribable, but quickly transforms into sick disappointment when they find the atmosphere is a roiling mass of hydrochloric acid, carbon dioxide, and other deadly poisons. They fly onward, seeking better planets. They find them, but none are ideal. The search goes on for a century, then longer still. As they move farther from Earth, aliens discover the intruding ship, and they begin to investigate humanity. They find our species unacceptable.

Story
In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

Doctor Benjamin Schröder was far from a man of action. In fact, he was a history teacher - chairman of the Castle Rock University history department - and if his life wasn't perfect, it was close. Until, that is the discussion of his star student Elzbietá Abramowski's dissertation on Operation Oz, the Pacific Allies' invasion of Vladivostok, was brutally interrupted. The psychotic episode that turned his entire world upside down struck with absolutely no warning, and it was more terrifying than anything he should have been able to imagine.

It was passably good.
Dead average sci-fi horror story with a similar performance. This one is OK but nothing to write home about. It isn’t terribly well written, is super tropey, and by the numbers.

Feels unfinished
I realize that it's part of a series, but the "to be continued" ending still seems lackluster to me. When you finally reach the big climactic moment, it's cut short and left without any real conclusion. Although this is a great strategy for ending a chapter, it's not so great for ending a book. It was, however, interesting and well written and likely would have convinced me to seek out the rest of the series if I had not felt as though the author were trying to force my hand in that regard.

Horror in space
As with all stories you’ll find some incredibly stupid characters. I think that’s where the story lacked for me. People doing idiotic things and knowing that they’re idiotic. Overall, it could make a good sci-fi channel B horror movie.. narration was great storyline moved fast.

The word "said".
I have never heard the word "said" so much in a novel.
The story is fine and I like the narrator.
The characters are average. A little more fleshing out on them would have gone a long way in making the story better.

The story is ok, the characters are ok. Everything should have come together but for me it just never did. It wasn't bad.

actually pretty good
I was given this book for free from audiobook boom and asked to leave an unbiased review for the author and narrator.
Space zombies, oh heck yea lol. I enjoyed the story and would have used a credit for it.
I thought the narrator did a good job, he actually performed the book rather than just read it.

WARNING: NO ENDING!
I understand that when you're writing the first book in a series, you need to leave stuff for the sequel. That makes sense. But you're also supposed to at least offer some conclusion to the events of the first book. Dead Shock does not. EDIT: This is doubly true if THE NEXT BOOK ISN'T EVEN OUT YET. What the hell, Wallace Henry?
Imagine you're watching a James Bond movie. You keep hearing about some secret doomsday weapon, and Bond is trying to reach the villain's hidden base. He gets to the secret entrance, but can't figure out how to get in. Just then, the intercom kicks on, and the villain taunts Bond that he's about to die... and then the movie ends. That's roughly analogous to the "ending" of this book. I would probably have rated it as high as 4 stars if it actually had any kind of ending, but it doesn't, so I'm almost tempted to give it a 1. It gets a 2 because it's decently well written in most other respects.
If you're cool with the extremely cheap tactic of forcing the reader to buy the next book just to get what should have been the ending of this one, go right ahead; otherwise, I can't recommend.

Didn't work for me.
World building was not there and characters were flat. And it does end with "To be continued".

Just okay
This was fine. Not an absolutely terrible book but not memorable or stand out in basically any way. The world building was only barely scratched upon for the majority of the story and then towards the end there's a huge info dump. Also, I don't hate cliffhangers as a rule but this one was poorly executed. It could have been extended into a bit of a longer book and ended at a more final place while still giving an enticing lead into a next book.
It was fine for a short, entertaining read but there are similar books that take the same concept and do it better.
