About this ebook

One man struggles to survive on a hostile alien world in this thrilling adventure from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Madrenga.
 
Some people are convinced they can do anything; Evan Orgell is one of them. So when his company president sends him off-world to investigate a breakdown in communications from a small research station on a newly discovered planet, he’s all in. The planet’s resources could mean massive profits for the company—and a successful mission could mean massive advancement for Evan. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. 
 
Clad in a Mobile Hostile World suit, Evan has no doubts about his safety—until he lands on the world of Prism. Though he’s already dealt with thousands of theoretical extraterrestrial problems, nothing prepares him for what he finds there. Hungry, invading lifeforms are everywhere. Over two dozen highly trained people have been overwhelmed and killed, some with their bones eaten from the inside out. It’s utter devastation. Then, while Evan searches for survivors, his indestructible suit meets its match—and he must face the bloodthirsty predators of Prism alone, unprotected, with only his wits to rely on . . .

Ratings and reviews

Decent but short story. Riddled with typos, likely from whatever scanning was done to make this into an e-book. It is frustrating though, I'm not even sure if one of the creatures is called a "fleet" or a "flect" because it was referenced as both at least five times each.

Good book but all these books are riddled with incorrect punctuation and random capital letters. Other than that These books Are very interesting.(capital letters intentional)... :)
