About This Book

Two men aboard a crippled spaceship are stranded above Uranus after meteor damage leaves their rockets and oxygen supplies compromised. With limited air, bitter mistrust develops as one contemplates abandoning or killing the other to survive. They decide to attempt a shock-landing and search the frozen, high-pressure surface for kronalium and pockets of breathable frozen air, relying on fragile vac-suits and life-support. The story follows their tense preparations, hazardous explorations across an elemental landscape, and the urgent effort to repair the ship before their oxygen runs out.
