Eden's colony grows rapidly as colonists flock to the only pristine wilderness in known space. Building the surface settlement leads to encounters with fascinating yet dangerous alien wildlife, triggering painful memories of the kraken that nearly destroyed their dreams all those years ago.

Will anyone survive?
