Heinlein.\" -Kirkus Reviews \"A fun story of survival and endurance that hits some metaphysical high notes and exudes a special feeling of \"cool\", Exigency is highly recommended to any big-hearted and sharp-minded reader in search of a sturdy sci-fi page-turner.\" -Red City Review Nine brilliant scientists travel light years on a one-way trip to an Earth-like planet. Their mission is to study from orbit the two species of intelligent lifeforms on the surface. The first: an isolated people embarking on civilization and building their world's first city. The second: a brutal race of massive predators, spread thick and still growing across the dominant landmass-destined to breed and eat their way to extinction within a few centuries. After eight years of observation, disaster strikes the orbiting station and only two crewmembers eject successfully. Drifting down through a dark alien sky, the pair realizes their escape pod launched not toward the safety of the city, but to the other side of the planet, touching down deep inside a land no human could possibly survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Siemsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194075724X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781940757247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantome Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 414\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.06d","brand":"Michael Siemsen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983896969471,"sku":"9781940757247","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac9a1130-cac9-40be-87b3-f1b4a9fe1afd.jpg?v=1683269347","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exigency-michael-siemsen-9781940757247","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
