'Thrilling, terrifying and fascinating'
Tim Peake, British ESA astronaut
They looked into darkness. The darkness looked back . . .
An utterly gripping story of first contact on a hostile planet from Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning Children of Time.
New for this paperback edition: Includes the short story 'Sins of the Children', the fascinating prequel to Shroud.
An 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 name it Shroud.
Under no circumstances can a human survive on Shroud's inhospitable surface - but a catastrophic accident forces Juna Ceelander and Mai Ste Etienne to crash-land in a barely adequate escape vehicle. Alone, and fighting to survive, the two women embark on a gruelling journey in search of salvation. But Juna and Mai's tenuous existence is threatened by Shroud's extraordinary alien species. If they can escape, they'll have to explain the impossible and translate the incredible . . .
