About This Book

Two spacemen land on a tiny, frozen asteroid and unexpectedly find thriving vegetation, cultivated rows, and signs of human workmanship. They contend with near-zero gravity, bioluminescent plant projectiles and hostile flora while following carved paths to an iron airlock bearing familiar markings. Inside and above the door they encounter an apparently unprotected human figure and other puzzling remnants, prompting a tense investigation that mixes speculative biology, improvised survival, and the slow uncovering of whether the outpost is abandoned, automated, or secretly inhabited.
