Product Overview
Stranded on the lush yet lethal surface of Venus, Thorn and Scrivner are two ship-jumpers scraping by in a squalid settlement, haunted by the dream of a fortune that slipped through their fingers. When renowned researcher Professor Fenshaw and his resourceful daughter Pat arrive seeking a guide into the uncharted interior, Thorn seizes the chance to reclaim his lost opportunity. He agrees to lead an expedition north, where the professor hopes to uncover proof of an Elder Race that once ruled the solar system, and where Thorn believes a great treasure lies hidden.
But their heliojet crashes deep in the alien wilderness, and the survivors must fight for every step through a realm of carnivorous fungi, drug-addicted natives, and unseen predators. With supplies dwindling and loyalties fraying, Thorn’s true intentions surface, threatening to turn the journey into a desperate gamble where the jungle’s secrets may be the only prize worth having.
