Zarmina

By John Simion

Zarmina ... a tidally-locked world discovered in 2010 and thought to lie within the circumstellar habitability zone of Gliese 581, a red dwarf star in the Libra constellation. But could man survive there? The starship Turing was both mankind's first manned interstellar flight and its first effort to colonize an alien world. We volunteered for the mission, gambling that we could escape the conflict and bloodshed on Earth and make a fresh start on a new world. Building our new home was hard. With a forbidding climate and dangerous local wildlife, life on Zarmina was never going to be easy. But we expected that. What we didn't expect was that the greatest threat would come from within. When our difficulties mounted, personalities began to clash. When the body count began to rise, we realized that we'd brought a monster with us to Zarmina ... one that had to be stopped at all costs. Written with a strong emphasis on science, Zarmina interweaves a fascinating story of human intrigue, conflict, murder and warfare with science-based speculation about how mankind might live on a real, tidally-locked planet.
