Exiles
About this book
A terrifying locked-room mystery from the author of William--this time set on a remote outpost on Mars.
The human crew sent to prepare the first colony on Mars arrives to find the new base half-destroyed and the three robots sent to set it up in disarray—the machines have formed alliances, chosen their own names, and picked up some disturbing beliefs. Each must be interrogated. But one of them is missing.
In this barren, hostile landscape where even machines have nightmares, the astronauts will need to examine all the stories--especially their own--to get to the truth.
Exiles is a terrifying, taut, one-sitting read, and Mason Coile once again blends science fiction and psychological horror to engage some of humanity’s deepest questions.
Praise for this book
A must-read author . . . Coile continues to build up the suspense chapter by chapter until all is revealed. It is well worth the wait. The finale will have your pulse racing as you try to piece together the mystery at the heart of this wonderful novel. Exiles is not to be missed and is one of the most satisfying reads of 2025.
A locked-room mystery set in the near future . . . A fast and riveting read.
A brilliant locked room-style horror, Exiles combines sci-fi with psychological horror, and at just shy of 200 pages, this is a book you can easily read in one sitting.
This sci-fi horror novel delivers a gripping blend of psychological tension and fast-paced suspense. Structured like a locked-room mystery, where the locked room is an uninhabitable planet, the story builds an atmosphere of isolation and paranoia.
[P]acey and taut . . . Exiles has the breathless pace of a thriller, the creeping dread of horror and the robots and alien landscapes of science fiction . . . Even if Exiles isn’t reinventing the extraterrestrial thriller, it’s still a standout example of the form: satisfying, entertaining and emphatically human.
A taut, terrifying thriller.
