She’s Waiting in the Corridor | Acacia Daniels | Military Sci-Fi; Horror (N)
On the bleak mining world of Mors, a PMC unit led by Captain Kane Ulyanov walks straight into a nightmare when engineered giant spiders tear through an OreTech operation. As the squad fights to hold the line, sniper and former med student Yarina “Ice” Baranouskaya unravels two mysteries at once - what’s actually killing her squadmates, and what the soldiers really mean when they whisper that ‘she’s waiting in the corridor’. The truth is worse than the monsters.
