A small scientific team investigates the mysterious deaths of a hundred colonists on an alien world. They conduct atmospheric and biological tests, survey flora and fauna, and confront political pressure to declare the planet habitable. The narrator, a female biochemist, documents microscopic analyses, puzzling inert gases, unusual spores and molds, rare toxic organisms, and eerie scenes among corpses, while developing a personal relationship with a colleague. Despite intensive study, the cause of the lethal outbreak remains unresolved, leaving the investigation open-ended.
