Summary
It should have been a straightforward exercise; but they
were reckoning without mechanical failures, earthquakes and
hostile indigenous species. It’s 2225. Mankind has reached the outskirts of the
universe, and discovered evidence of intelligent life on
dozens of planets. Nothing still alive, but some amazing
archaeological remains. On the distant planet Maleiva III,
known colloquially as Deepsix (it’s about to be wiped
out by a rogue gas giant, the Jerry Morgan) they’ve
found traces of an ancient civilization. With two weeks to go
before the gas giant destroys the planet, a team of crack
archaeologists lands on the surface to record and salvage as
much of this ancient civilzation as they can. Suddenly, the team is stranded there with no means of
getting off it. With the Jerry Morgan bearing down on them
day by day, survival is going to require some
ingenuity…
