The final action-packed installment in Robert Appleton's sci-fi survival trilogy.

Jason Remington has been abducted by a monstrous creature. Having barely survived the ocean crossing, Kate Borrowdale must track him through an alien forest and over its low gravity roof. She finds him alive, but he is not alone.

Two men and a woman, also survivors from the Fair Monique's crash, have rescued him and killed the creature. How? Kate senses they're hiding a secret and doesn't trust them. Things look up when she finds a mountain cave for them all to live in. Procuring food proves tricky, however, as it means venturing back into the heart of the forest, where Kate and Jason find themselves being watched...by the real inhabitants...

The fight for supremacy in the wilds of Kratos takes on an epic new dimension in Book 3 of the (newly revised) trilogy, preceded by The Eleven Hour Fall and The Elemental Crossing.
