Forty days. One expedition. One world untouched by humanity. Kepler-442b lies twelve hundred light-years from Earth, orbiting an orange star in the darkness beyond our Solar System. For forty days, humanity's first expedition explores its mountains, ancient shorelines, frozen basins, caves, volcanic plains, and distant horizons, documenting a world shaped by billions of years of geological history. Through daily survival logs and scientific observations, the mission uncovers evidence of vanished oceans, hidden ice, changing seasons, and mysteries buried beneath the surface of an alien planet. This is not a story about monsters. It is not a story about war. It is the story of a planet. And humanity's first attempt to understand it. Perfect for readers who enjoy realistic science fiction, planetary exploration, hard science fiction, and atmospheric journeys into the unknown.
