Description
Zarmina … a tidally-locked world discovered in 2010 and thought to lie within the circumstellar habitability zone of Gliese 581, a red dwarf star in the Libra constellation. A real world. Perhaps man's best hope for a new home. But what might life be like on such a world? Could man even survive there?
For decades no one knew. The discovery of the Branson-Musk star drive in 2068, though, finally gave scientists a chance to find out. As Earth continues to spiral into conflict and bloodshed, one hundred volunteers board the starship Turing, gambling that they can explore Zarmina and colonize it together in peace and freedom. They'll find that Zarmina is a hard place to survive, with a forbidding climate, dangerous flares, sickness, near starvation and dangerous local wildlife. They'll learn the hard way that one mistake could kill them all and that their starship – built on a budget -- doesn't necessarily have what they need. They know that no white knight will come to their rescue, but they're smart. They know they can handle it. As personalities clash, battle lines are drawn and the body count rises, though, the explorers will discover an unexpected and even greater threat to their survival.
