Description

They thought the planet Caliban had been "cleared" by a survey team, so that sentient natives would not be harmed by human exploratory teams. But when the Shenandoah lands on Caliban, the humans find there is life on the planet... and what should have been a routine and profitable job turns into a nightmare.
