'Jack McDevitt is that splendid rarity, a writer who is a
storyteller first and a science fiction writer second. In his
ability to absolutely rivet the reader, it seems to me that he is
the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke' Stephen King
In 2204, tragedy and terror forced a scientific team to prematurely
evacuate the rare, life-supportingplanet of Maleiva III. Nineteen
years later, it is hurtling through space and the opportunity to
study it is about to be obliterated. With less than three weeks
left before the disaster, superluminal pilot Priscilla 'Hutch'
Hutchins - the only even remotely qualified professional within
light years of the ill-fated planet - must lead a small scientific
team to the surface to glean whatever they can about its life forms
and lost civilizations before time runs out. But catastrophe awaits
when they are stranded on this strange and complex world of puzzles
and impossibilities. And now Hutch and her people must somehow
survive on a hostile world going rapidly mad as the clock ticks
towards apocalypse for a doomed enigma now called Deepsix.
