Then his wishes become a reality in the worst way. His political activism sees him exiled from Earth to Kiln\u0026amp;rsquo;s extrasolar labour camp. There, he\u0026amp;rsquo;s condemned to work under an alien sky until he dies.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Kiln boasts a ravenous, chaotic ecosystem like nothing seen on Earth. The monstrous alien life interacts in surprising, sometimes shocking ways with the human body, so Arton will risk death on a daily basis. However, the camp\u0026amp;rsquo;s oppressive regime might just kill him first. If Arton can somehow escape both fates, the world of Kiln holds a wondrous, terrible secret. It will redefine life and intelligence as he knows it, and might just set him free . . .\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;\u0026amp;lsquo;A warning for a future we don\u0026amp;rsquo;t want . . .
