Publisher's summary

The crew of starship Antori have been hired to transport a shipping container to a nearby star system, and it's their biggest payday yet. But when one of the crew accidentally opens the container, they find themselves up against a terrifying extraterrestrial. Now, the crew must fight to stay alive as the deadly creature begins its hunt.

The Cargo is a 55,000 word, science fiction horror in the vein of Aliens and Mimic. Tonally, the story is dark, with an ever-looming sense of impending horror just beyond the next hatchway.
It’s tense, foreboding and teetering at the edge of hopelessness, a frighteningly visceral journey of survival.

an okay sci-fi horror.

a large monstrosity hunts down the crew of a cargo spaceship. sound familiar? this is not exactly an offshoot of the classic alien movies from yesteryear, but it is rather similar. in this story The Monster is brought on board as cargo, which a drunken crewman unwittingly releases. now don't snicker, the monster turns out to be a giant mosquito. sounds crazy, but it actually works. the action does not take long to start, and overall the story is well done. I liked it.
