Publisher's Synopsis
As sentient storms threaten to replicate the disaster that terminated their last career, interstellar pilot and former adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their squad safe on an icy moon.
For whatever reason, everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (UIS, for short) is aware that Mahaha should be avoided. The only humans that have ever ventured to its surface required rescue after only two weeks, and the ice moon is notorious for botched probe landings and research missions that end in disaster.
A respected research organisation asks Alex Gallegos to lead the team when they decide they want a turn. Alex accepts, fully qualified and troubled by their history, hoping to atone for past transgressions and go a little bit farther away from the planet they've left behind.
The team is having trouble with dissatisfaction, broken equipment, and blizzards that are behaving less and less like typical weather two months into the seven-month expedition. Alex must face the one opponent they could never have anticipated when Mahaha moves out of the way of assistance and the storms take on a more threatening personality.
Mahaha might still be alive or not.
