Synopsis ~
The Solar Queen and its new sister ship, North
Star, have embarked on a mission to a planet rich in lucrative ore. Armed with
their experience on the galactic rim, the independent traders descend to the
surface to discover a bizarre set of dangers. A strange electromagnetic force
is killing miners stranded from the former crew of the North Star. Weather is
terrible, with enormous disturbances throughout the atmosphere of the entire
planet. Dane Thorson and the rest of the embattled crew use all of their
traders' ingenuity to untangle the mystery of Hesprid IV's deadly life forms.
Finally, they take a desperate gamble to communicate with the planet's
creatures--their last chance to survive the planet's many perils.
