When their transport crashes in the wilderness of the ice planet they work on, the few survivors must band together to survive the cold. And the monsters. One man's secret past may hold the key to living through the night, or it may be what dooms them all.

Hard sci-fi with hard choices and dire results, A Deep, Cold Breath delivers hammer blows to the gut for fans of gritty, outer space action.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Adam Stemple is an award-winning author, poet, and musician. Of his first novel, SINGER OF SOULS, SFWA Grandmaster Anne McCaffrey said, "One of the best first novels I have ever read." Of his later works, Hugo Award winning author Naomi Kritzer said, "No one writes bastard-son-of-a-bitch characters as brilliantly as Adam Stemple."

Like most authors, his life experience is broad and odd. He spent 20 years on the road with a variety of bands playing for crowds of between 2 and 20,000 people. He ran a poker training site. He worked in a warehouse. He picked corn. He traded options and demoed houses. He drove pizzas for nine months in 1986, which for 27 years was the longest he'd ever been employed. He has been sober for over 15 years. He published his first book at the age of 16, "The Lullaby Songbook," which he arranged the music for. His mother is a famous children's book author. His children are artistic. His wife is a better person than him in nearly all regards.

I'm not much of a review writer, but I really enjoyed this story, and wanted to boost the signal. Read all of Stemple's work! It's all good, and all unique.

I do love some good alien science-fiction! Enjoyed this very much, although a little disappointed in the ending. The writing is tight and focused, and really kept my interest!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced survival SF... with a twist
Reviewed in Canada on May 22, 2020

I like a novelette to be tight and lean. I like science fiction that drops you into the middle of the setting and the action, and catches you up on the fly, rather than leading you by the nose, or drowning you in infodumps. I like when the world-building is implicit in the characters, their actions, and their dialogue. I also like a story that starts out seeming to be one kind of tale, then is revealed (organically) to be a completely different kind of thing.

Stemple pulls all that off in this quick, exciting read. Recommended.
