THE TEETH OF VEHRION
Seven technicians jump out to a planet at the edge of Earth’s colonial reach into space. Their job is a simple one: repair a base’s malfunctioning filtration device slowing down the terraforming process. But when their ship falls foul to a failed mutiny by the ground crew, the Techs soon find that their own collective ingenuity is the only thing that might save their lives.
And all the time something hides in the darkness of the base’s corridors.
“One of the creepiest things I’ve read”
“I read this story while flying on a red-eye, pregnant, with my toddler asleep next to me. It kept me awake the whole time and I could not put it down. Beautiful writing and amazing plot!“
