The much-anticipated sequel to Zero G and the middle grade debut by
Dan Wells.
The colonists from the Pathfinder have arrived on Kaguya, a planet
with low gravity but a very dense atmosphere. It's fun to jump around,
but the air makes you loopy. Even worse than that, the heavy atmosphere
means that wind storms, although rare, are absolutely devastating.
Zero and Nyx help to get everything locked down before the first big
storm, but they stumble onto a group of thieves who have stolen some
mining equipment. Before the kids have a chance to get away and tell
anyone, the storm hits and the massive winds carry them far away. Zero
and Nyx are stranded on an unknown planet with no way to communicate,
being chased by thieves, and with another storm bearing down on them.
And, oh yeah, this planet has dragons.
It will take more than just good luck to get back to the colony. It's
going to take science.
