Pitch Black
Pitch Black | Frank Lauria
1 post | 1 read
A fantastic futuristic thriller of a deadly new frontier. A rogue comet spears an earth-bound commercial spacecraft, forcing it to plummet to the surface of an unknown planet. With the captain dead, a brave pilot performs a perilous crash landing. Other than three suns-which create perpetual light-and a slight oxygen deficiency, a search party discovers that the planet isn't much different from Earth...until they stumble across a ghostly settlement littered with the human remains of geologists who mysteriously perished exactly sixty years ago. And the most horrific discovery of all: below the surface of the soil, where darkness reigns, live hungry predators with a deadly appetite. Once every sixty years a solar eclipse darkens the skies and allows the blood-hungry creatures to escape from their underground tomb. With only hours before total blackout, everyone must unite in a race to raise the geologists' abandoned ship before becoming a long-awaited meal...

Mehso-so

I am going to give this book four out of five stars, even though I have seen the movie, countless times. I love the character of Riddick, marooned on a planet with 10 others? He proves to be a somewhat unsettling, unpredictable leader/hero at the worst of times. The book follows the film faithfully, except for one noticeable change. But, it was still full of the horrors, and graphic scenes of monsters, who live in the dark!
