The Last Astronaut by David Wellington

Astronaut Sally Jensen was all set to land on Mars. It was her life's goal. An unavoidable space accident put an early end to her career and turned her into a pariah.  Decades later, she is the commander of the spaceship Orion on its way to make First Contact with what is supposedly an alien spacecraft hurtling towards Earth. 

In the vast expanse of space fiction there's a subgenre of horror that can scare the daylights out of anyone and this book fits the bill. The Last Astronaut reminds one of the Alien movie franchise with all the gory, gooey, weird details. Great writing and an engrossing plot.
