The Ghost Ship Anastasia by Rich Larson was published in January 2017’s Clarkesworld issue.

Summary:

An action packed mystery story about a space crew (including one sister who is physically dead) following the distress call received by a bioship. Its A.I. seems to have taken the ship over and its occupants are missing apart from one.

Pros:

+ Action thriller packed.

+ Emotional because of the dead sister

+ Great ending

Cons:

+ It’s not explained why the sister’s consciousness will deteriorate after a few hours in the spacesuit. Why does it fit in there at the first place?
