About This Book

Richel Alsint rushes to board his ship after lingering in a rare city park, but his ship watch fails and takeoff begins. He forces entry by using the watch to trigger the outer latch, suffering burns, and scrambles inside as rockets fire; the inner lock remains closed, leaving him trapped in a slowly cooling passageway. The narrative interweaves the mechanical urgencies of spaceflight with moments of strange natural detail—a flock of unusually colored birds and references to mechanized vegetation tending—suggesting an unsettling link between technology, small living creatures, and unexplained attempts on a caretaker's life.
