About This Book

The Starholm crew lands on an uninhabited, wind-swept planet to gather heavy elements; Dr. Helen Murray unexpectedly gives birth to a premature son, Robin, and refuses to return to the ship when officers insist the newborn cannot survive hyperspace. The crew departs, a crewmember later dies by suicide, and Helen raises Robin alone in simple shelters amid whispering winds that seem to speak and reach out. As Robin grows, he begins to respond to the voices in the air while Helen alternates between devoted care, frightening delirium, and mounting psychological strain under the planet's mysterious influence.
