Good is a construct. Evil is a virus.
The Starship Sa Niro and the Starship Sß Oubliette were in orbit around a black hole, one afternoon... by the end of the day, the crews of both starships were dead, victims of a single killer: Captain Alpha Raine.
Raine claims he's acting under the command of a voice emanating from the black hole: Mr Modo. No one believes him.Everyone knows that things go into black holes; nothing comes out.
But something inexplicable has been happening to Raine, and whatever it is seems to be spreading. An historian studying serial killers from the 21st century interviews him... and then nearly kills someone herself. It becomes increasingly undeniable that there's something inside that black hole... and it's found a way out...©2024 Adam Roberts (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited Dystopian First Contact Horror Science Fiction Space Exploration Black Hole Interstellar

I love when science fiction is a vehicle for pondering what people would do in unusual/futuristic circumstances. I found this an entertaining and different perspective on various tech and society trends that might be in our future. I loved the book!

I love the premise. I feel like the book did not go anywhere interesting as far as characters are concerned. Conceptually, would have been better as a mystery.

Not sure what to make of it. Love the premise.
