From New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry, NecroTek is a gripping sci fi thriller full of ghosts, Gods, and a battle for the soul of humanity.

Neither cosmic philosopher Lars Soren, hotshot pilot Bianca Petrescu, nor the high priestess Jessica McHugh—Lady Death herself—can say quite where in the galaxy they are. But after an experiment gone horribly wrong, one thing is clear: Asphodel Station isn’t in orbit around Jupiter any longer. Worse, the monsters that live out here—ancient eldritch beings thought only to exist in stories and nightmares—have now been alerted to Earth’s existence.

Their army of Shoggoths is coming for us next.

Humanity’s only hope for survival lies on the surface of the alien world of Shadderal, where a ghost named Lost, the last of an ancient race, still haunts the vast plains of the Field of Dead Birds. But hope has a cost. Lost tells Soren about ancient derelict spacecraft awaiting on Shadderal, shapeshifting machines that blend ultra-advanced technology with the dark powers of necromancy. These ships might just be nimble enough to defend mankind against the coming invasion.

But there’s a catch: they can only be piloted by the dead.

As human starfighters fall in battle, their spirits can be called back from death to pilot these ghost ships of a fallen race. But will this new necromantic technology—NecroTek—allow humanity to stand against the vast armies of the Shoggoths? And even if it can, is the war to save the human race worth the cost of its pilots’ immortal souls?

Jonathan Maberry

Jonathan Maberry is a master weaver of suspense, horror, and dark adventure, with a unique ability to blend the supernatural with the gritty edges of reality. Born in the working-class neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Maberry’s early years were steeped in the pulse of urban life, which would later become a vivid backdrop for many of his stories. His career has been anything but conventional—drawing from his deep love of horror, martial arts, and folklore, he’s crafted a body of work that resonates with fans of both thrilling action and emotional depth.

Best known for his Joe Ledger series, a blend of horror, military fiction, and speculative thrillers, Maberry’s books often challenge readers with moral dilemmas, personal sacrifice, and the shadowy forces that lurk beneath the surface of society. But it’s not just the fast-paced action or the edge-of-your-seat suspense that makes his writing so compelling; it’s the way he builds real, relatable characters and explores themes of courage, survival, and the complexities of human nature, even in the face of the supernatural.

In addition to his Joe Ledger series, Maberry has earned praise for his Rot & Ruin novels, which take a unique approach to the zombie genre, focusing not just on the horrors of the undead, but also on the people who survive in a world ravaged by the apocalypse. These stories are more than just about zombies—they’re about growing up, finding hope, and fighting to keep what makes us human, even when everything around us is falling apart.

Maberry’s work has garnered numerous accolades, including multiple Bram Stoker Awards, and his stories have been adapted into comics, TV shows, and video games, further cementing his status as a force in modern horror and thriller fiction. With a career spanning decades, his influence continues to inspire writers and fans alike.

At the heart of Jonathan Maberry’s writing is an unrelenting drive to explore what it means to be human in the face of the extraordinary. Whether he’s plunging his characters into apocalyptic scenarios, exposing the darkest corners of society, or threading supernatural elements into his narratives, Maberry’s work challenges readers to confront their own fears, hopes, and the complexities of life and death. For those who crave more than just thrills, his books are a deep dive into the heart of what it means to survive—and to truly live.
