The Tomb of the Devils

Ninety-five years ago the enormous interplanetary space vehicle, the Pacifica, with a numerous crew, suddenly and inexplicably disappeared as it neared the planet Pluto. None of the probes directed towards the planet after the disaster found any evidence that the vessel and its crew had ever existed. Now, a century later, the wreck of the huge ship has been sighted, lying shrouded in the hazy-black starlight on the Plutonian surface. A shuttle has been fitted for the dangerous journey to the seventh planet, and with three crewmembers aboard, has made the first attempt to reach Pluto since the loss of the Pacifica. As the shuttle approaches the planet, it also 'suddenly and inexplicably' disappears and is lost. Although the crew of three is believed to have perished, they have not, and will carry on with their mission: to determine how the Pacifica met its fate. The truth, however, may be found only beyond reason, or even beyond imagination, and the three astronauts may wish that they never sought answer to this great mystery.

4Definitely worth a read!  Oct 25, 2006
By B. Christiansen "twoquiltingbs"
Once you delve into the story, you'll want to know how it ends. The first few chapters are slow, but they lay the groundwork for the book. Very imaginative, with special attention paid to detail. It's a story worth reading. I'm not usually a fan of science ficiton, but I definitely recommend this book!

5A great work of literary fiction!!!  Apr 22, 2006
By K. B. Lang
This is a great new novel for those interested in literary fiction. It melds genres of science fiction and mystery into an very interesting tale of three astronauts who find themselves on the planet of Pluto, with everything they need to survive. Interestingly woven into this novel are subtheme, which cause the reader to continuously dig for the deeper meaning of the novel, and there is a deeper meaning! (It reminds me of reading Lord of the Rings in 11th grade, and we had to analyze the book afterwards. I remember one individual commenting that there is no way an author write a book to have all of these different meanings. Now, after reading Tomb of the Devils, I am convinced that authors write in that way. While the book moves slowly during the first three chapters, don't put it down, because once you become hooked, you will be wondering "What is going to happen next". I highly recommend this book, The Tomb of the Devils by Michael D. Christensen, for your reading pleasure
