About this book
Human survival on another planet hinges on a bizarre alliance in this character-driven debut science fiction novel of first contact.
"Combines the world-building of Avatar with the alien wonder of Arrival, and the sheer humanity of Atwood. An essential work for our time." āStephen Baxter, award-winning author of The Time Ships
Colonists from Earth wanted the perfect home, but they'll have to survive on the one they found. They don't realize another life-form watchesĀ .Ā .Ā . and waitsĀ .Ā .Ā .
Can humans learn how to communicate with the planet's sentient species and forge an alliance to prove that humans are more than mere tools?
