About This Book

Two space patrolmen—a grizzled veteran and his younger partner—are dispatched to Venus to destroy a mysterious life-form, but their cruiser is wrecked on a water-world of floating islands and conventional weapons prove useless. Stranded, they must rely on improvisation, medical remedies, and the uneasy warmth of their friendship while confronting physical ailments, crate orders from above, and the hostile, alien environment. The tale focuses on survival, duty, and the practical tensions between experience and youthful resourcefulness.
