IS IMMORTALITY WORTH THE PRICE?

The savage ocean planet of Spatterjay draws visitors with very different agendas. Erlin is certainly immortal and looks for grounds to maintain living. Janer hosts a hive mind, which paid him to find this globe. And Keech can be an agent of Globe who’s been inactive for seven hundred years – but nonetheless hunts a notorious criminal.

On Spatterjay’s vast waterscapes, only the Old Captains risk the native lifestyle forms and their voracious appetites. Nevertheless, they are actually barely human. And somewhere out there Keech’s focus on – the Skinner – runs outrageous. Keech pursues the Skinner for atrocities dedicated within a centuries-past war, fought using the alien Prador. But one of these Prador is definitely fast approaching Spatterjay to exterminate witnesses to his own battle offences. And he won’t spare its visitors.
