Curse Ship

An abandoned ship drifting in deep space. No sign of what happened to her crew. And something terribly, terribly wrong on board...

Knives just wants some time to recover in peace from the adventure that nearly killed her and the rest of the ragtag medical crew. But there’s no hope of that. They’ve got word of a ship—the Ruby Rose—drifting just a few day’s run from Blackrock, and Puppy is determined to go find out what happened to it. No one can dissuade him, and neither Knives nor anyone else on the crew can bear to let him go alone. 
But the Ruby Rose is cursed. Stories say her crews have gone missing, pirate ships who’ve gone after her turned up drifting and empty. They say the icons of Our Lady of the Ghosts will rot and run down her walls because Our Lady won’t protect any who set foot on her. And somehow, Puppy is tangled up in whatever happened aboard.
Puppy’s led the crew on three missions now. His cheerful optimism and terrible coffee have held them together and maybe even kept them alive. But he’s lying to them about something. And as they approach the drifting ship, Knives and the others realize that none of them actually know anything at all about Puppy or his history. But once they set foot on the Ruby Rose…they may not live long enough to find out.
Set in the world of The Devil and the Dark, Curse Ship is the forth book in R.M. Olson's gripping space-horror series, The Dark Between Stars.
