The last human survivors search for a new home -- and find a planet already claimed by a civilisation of rapidly evolving spiders.
About This Book
Who will inherit this new earth? The last remnants of the human race left a dying Earth, desperate to find a new home among the stars. Following in the footsteps of their ancestors they discover the greatest treasure of the past age--a world terraformed and prepared for human life. But all is not right in this new Eden. In the long years since the planet was abandoned, the work of its architects has born disastrous fruit. The planet is not waiting for them, pristine and unoccupied.
Who This Is For
Best for readers who want their assumptions challenged: books that raise questions without easy answers. This is a book that asks something of you. Dense, layered, and best read slowly. The pacing is balanced, time to breathe between moments that matter. If you want clear answers and a satisfying resolution, look elsewhere.
