Outpost

By Allan Baillie About

Dece and only three others live on the planet Ord, a very remote outpost in outer space. The environment is a hostile one, and the man Dece most admired, Saphare, has already died in an accident, a victim of one of the ice geysers that unpredictably surface on the planet from time to time. Now he is left alone with his bossy little sister, Seps, and two adults: the harshly critical Cap, and emotionally distant Boss.

When Dece sees what appears to be the wreck of a spaceship caught in the orbit of the nearby gas planet, Cotal, he puts aside his terrors to investigate, but what he finds there is so extraordinary that it is almost beyond his ability to understand.
