Synopsis
Essef - Shrouded in eternal gloom by its own thick atmosphere, Tenebra was a hostile planet.. a place of crushing gravity, 370-degree temperatures, a constantly shifting crust and giant drifting raindrops. Uncompromising - yet there was life, intelligent life on Tenebra. For more than twenty years, Earth scientists had studied the natives from an orbiting laboratory.. and had even found a way to train and educate a few of them.
