"The salvage vessel Cort�es tracks the Lonely Orphan, a planet with no star system to call it's own. Somewhere on this hostile rock is a payload fit for a king. To attain it, the crew of the Cort�es must brave razor rock, poisonous vapors, treacherous footing, and the most mind-numbing horrors imaginable. Struggling to stay alive, they are beset at every turn by horrors from their own nightmares. Now, they have discovered that they are not alone on the planet, and the other inhabitants welcome them as sacrifices to an elder god. Stranded on a murderous, seemingly intelligent planet, the crew of the Cort�es must reevaluate what it truly means to survive, and what they are willing to do in order to spare their own lives."--Back cover.
