But, the darkness may have plans of its own in this wildly original story from Adrian Tchaikovsky, Hugo and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n They looked into the darkness and the darkness looked back . . .\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n New 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.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n Under 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 . . .\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orbit, 2025","offers":[{"title":"Shroud \/ NEW","offer_id":55119759999268,"sku":"9780316579025NW","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_60b6c51a-a0e7-46d9-b155-681ac3df4838.jpg?v=1781792376","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780316579025","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
