Shroud

On a planet shrouded in darkness a stranded crew must fight for survival. But the darkness may have plans of its own in this wildly original story from Adrian Tchaikovsky Hugo and Arthur C. Clarke Award–winning author of Children of Time. They looked into the darkness and the darkness looked back . . . New planets are fair game to asset strippers and interplanetary opportunists – and a commercial mission to a distant star system discovers a moon that is pitch black but alive with radio activity. Its high-gravity high-pressure zero-oxygen environment is anathema to human life but ripe for exploitation. They named it Shroud. Under no circumstances should a human end up on Shroud’s inhospitable surface. Except a catastrophic accident sees Juna Ceelander and Mai Ste Etienne doing just that. Forced to stage an emergency landing in a small barely adequate vehicle they are unable to contact their ship and are running out of time. Wha
