About
The routine transmission from the experimental colony planet of Ceti II-affectionately known as Eden-is overdue. For the communications operators back at Extrapolation Headquarters on Earth, a delayed report from the most idyllic, habitable world ever discovered should be impossible. When the channel remains dead, humanity's brilliant but eccentric problem-solvers, the Extrapolators, are called into action.
Enter Junior E Calvin Gray. Breaking political injunctions and flying a renegade space cruiser past asteroid belts and police blockade lines, Gray and his fiercely loyal crew jump eleven light-years across the galaxy to uncover the fate of the fifty missing pioneers. But what they find upon landing is far more terrifying than a destroyed settlement or a hostile alien invasion.
There is no settlement. No machinery. No fire. The very laws of physics and human progress seem to have unraveled overnight, leaving colonists running naked and terrified through a verdant paradise. Stripped of his ship, his advanced tools, and his clothes the exact moment his foot touches the grass, Calvin Gray must rely solely on the raw, unfiltered power of his mind.
Written and performed by Cathleen King, this riveting, cerebral sci-fi thriller blends gripping suspense with profound philosophical questions about human nature, evolution, and the dangerously deceptive allure of a perfect paradise.
