From the Edgar Award-winning author of The Clockwork Three comes a haunting post-apocalyptic novel where survival and self-determination collide.

"An intense, read-in-one-sitting kind of ride."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"A twisty mystery of partial truths and unexpected reveals."--BCCB

2199. Deep-space exploration is a reality and teleportation is routine. But this time something seems to have gone very, very wrong. Seventeen-year-old Jessica Mathers wakes up in a lander that's crashed onto the surface of Carver 1061c, a desolate, post-extinction planet fourteen light-years from Earth. The planet she was supposed to be viewing from a ship orbiting far above.

The corridors of the empty lander are covered in bloody handprints; the machines are silent and dark. And outside, in the alien dirt, there are fresh graves carefully marked with names she doesn't recognize. Now Jessica must unravel the mystery of the destruction all around her--and the questionable intentions of a familiar stranger.
