Description

In the tangled, irradiated jungles of Venus, a ruthless wilderness known as the Tihar Forest hides secrets that have baffled colonists for centuries. When a wealthy Martian’s daughter learns that her sister, presumed dead after a crash, might still be alive deep within that nightmarish thicket, she demands an expedition—despite the planet’s reputation for swallowing whole crews.

She turns to a hardened director of Venusian Exports and a notorious convict who’s the only one to have survived the forest’s mutating horrors. Together they must assemble a reluctant team, balance corporate politics, and confront a landscape where every plant and creature is a twisted relic of a long‑ago atomic cataclysm. As the mission gears up, the stakes are clear: rescue a lost sibling or confront a terror that could cost them all their lives.
