Full Description
Planet GJ 1061 d is no paradise. The world orbits on the edge of the habitable zone around its star, which only allows life near the equator.
Nevertheless, the Majestic Draght stops in the system because the planet has a special feature: a huge rift runs from the south pole almost to the equator, and this canyon does not appear to have any geological causes. What is the mystery behind it?
Marchenko and his alien friends think they can answer the question quickly, but they have not reckoned with those who arrived here before them.
The Marchenko logfiles describe the incredible but always realistic adventures of an unusual crew in the immediate vicinity of the solar system.
