About This Book

A patrol discovers a traumatised Venusian woman in a humidi-hut whose haunting beauty and incoherent speech hint at a tragic past; as technicians prepare to transport her, memories surface of two men—both now dead—who once knew her. One had taken the lonely station hoping to prospect for rare quolla gems and better his fortunes, while the other was associated with the patrol. The plot mixes tense rescue and investigation scenes with backstory, examining obsession, grief, and the harsh demands of life on a wind-blasted Venus where human ambition collides with a hostile environment.
