Greta wants Max to treat her like a woman; eighteen hours from Epsilon, he calls her “Doctor.” Then the crew reaches the colony—and finds only the dead.

Earth is running out of room, and the nations are watching Epsilon: if the planet is habitable, it could be humanity’s next home—or the spark for war. Biochemist Greta joins pilot and bacteriologist Max, scientist Taylor Bishop, and their political-minded leader, John Armitage, to discover what killed a hundred colonists. The air seems clean; the plants and creatures yield no answer. Meanwhile, a dead colony, rising pressure from Earth, and the crew’s own rivalries make every clue harder to trust. On a world that looks like a paradise, what could have turned its first settlers against one another?
