About This Book

The narrative follows a young extra-terrestrial zoologist determined to join a commercial big-game hunting expedition despite a famous hunter's skepticism. He signs aboard the expedition ship, adapts to strict leadership and the vessel's bubble-cage technology for transporting alien animals, and navigates tense rivalries that have deadly consequences. The voyage combines practical survival challenges and professional proving with an uncanny mystery when an apparently impossible voice calls a dead companion on a distant moon, merging frontier adventure and eerie questions about sound and life in hostile extraterrestrial environments.
