Description
In a remote, dystopian future, Gyre Price—raised on the harsh routines of a mining colony—takes a high-risk contract exploring a hostile alien world. Sent in as a caver to map and retrieve data, she must navigate claustrophobic terrain while a distant handler monitors her every move, turning survival into a relentless test of trust, sanity, and control. As the planet’s dangers close in, the story becomes a psychological and emotional descent where fear, isolation, and the body’s limits collide with the unknown. Blending sci-fi dread with intimate horror, this debut novel by Caitlin Starling delivers a tense, character-driven thriller that probes themes of autonomy, exploitation, and what it means to endure when no one is truly in the room with you.
