Description
A deadly virus shattered the original colony centuries ago, killing the men and forever altering the few surviving women. Now, generations later, a company arrives to exploit the planet Jeep, but its employees soon find themselves fighting for their lives. As anthropologist Marghe Taishan tests a new vaccine, she risks death to uncover the women's biological secret. But as she delves deeper into the mystery, she realizes that not only has she found a home on Jeep, but that she alone carries the seeds of its destruction. The company abandons its employees, leaving them isolated and afraid, while Marghe must confront the true nature of her new surroundings and the secrets they hold.
