A page-turning new SF thriller from a multiple award-winning author.

The first manned mission to Mars has been a resounding success, and excitement grows as more new discoveries are made. However, one discovery continues to defy rational explanation - the 'marsmat' - a complex anaerobic life-form found in the planet's honeycomb of tunnels.

This raises questions about the nature and meaning of life itself which will lead the curious and the driven to Pluto and beyond, to the cold void at the fringes of the solar system.

'Benford is a scientist who writes with verve and insight not only about black holes and cosmic strings but about human desires and fears' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
