| book description |

An utterly gripping story of survival on a hostile planet from Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning Children of Time. They looked into the darkness. The darkness looked back . . . A commercial expedition to a distant star system discovers a pitch-black moon alive with radio activity. Its high-gravity, high-pressure, zero-oxygen environment is deadly to human life, but ripe for exploitation. They named it Shroud. Under no circumstances can a human survive Shroudâ€™s inhospitable surface â€“ but a catastrophic accident forces Juna Ceelander and Mai Ste Etienne to make an emergency landing in a barely adequate escape vehicle. Alone, and fighting for survival, the two women embark on a gruelling journey across land, sea and air in search of salvation. But as they travel, Juna and Mai begin to understand Shroudâ€™s unnerving alien species. It also begins to understand them. If they escape Shroud, theyâ€™ll somehow have to explain the impossible and translate the incredible. That is, if they make it back at all . . . Praise for Adrian Tchaikovsky â€˜The smartest evolutionary worldbuilding youâ€™ll ever readâ€™ â€“ Peter F. Hamilton, author of Salvation on Children of Time â€˜Compelling on human and cosmic levels, and unputdownableâ€™ â€“ Stephen Baxter, author of Proxima on Alien Clay â€˜Heart-in-the-mouth fantasticâ€™ â€“ New Scientist on Alien Clay
