The Company had a big problem—it was illegally exploiting a fabulously rich planet named Prism, a world where even the tiniest creatures were living jewels.

But, somehow, all contact had been lost with the scientists of the survey team. The Company didn't want to draw attention to itself by sending in a rescue mission, so they assigned Evan Orgell, a self-confident problem-solver, to investigate.

Evan was good, but he didn't understand Prism. Worse, he couldn't solve the real mystery of the mission...until it was too late.
