About This Book

An interstellar medical team arrives to inspect a colonial world and uncovers an outbreak that transforms ordinary tensions into contagious, intense antipathy. The account follows their procedural preparations, orbital cautions, and on-the-ground inquiry as they trace an unusual biological and psychological agent that skews perception, disrupts institutions, and spreads through social contact. The narrative moves between clinical analysis and field improvisation, examining the practical and ethical problems of diagnosing and containing a disease whose chief symptom is destructive social contagion.
