Clarke Award Winner Adrian Tchaikovsky.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThey looked into the darkness and the darkness looked back...\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder 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. What follows is a gruelling journey across land, sea and air. During this time, Juna and Mai begin to understand Shroud's dominant species. It also begins to understand them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf they escape Shroud, they'll face a crew only interested in profiteering from this extraordinary world. They'll somehow have to explain the impossible and translate the incredible. That is, if they make it back at all.","brand":"Adrian Tchaikovsky","offers":[{"title":"Pan Macmillan |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (UK) |  2025-04-29","offer_id":46299081638143,"sku":"9781035013807","price":33.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_e45d41bc-710c-4a18-bc02-6789498ad9a3.jpg?v=1730483831","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781035013807","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
