COME! SEE NULLAQUA!
...AND DIE!
The entire habitable portion of Nullaqua lies at the bottom of an immense crater 70 miles deep, 500 miles
across. The rest of the planet is dead.
How quickly can a person climb? Two miles a day? You would be two miles above sea level before you were even over the boulders at the foot of the Nullaquian crater. After two days of climbing you would find it impossible to breathe. The sky would turn black before you were halfway up The Cliffs. After a month you would be climbing rocks undisturbed for four billion years.
And yet...something lives down there at the bottom of that ocean of dust. Something cool and watchful. No one talks about it on Nullaqua.
All this... and the crew of the dustwhaler Lunglance... make up this strange and memorable world. For in-stance, you will never forget the winged woman Dalusa, or the hero of this novel, John Newhouse, who had the misfortune to fall in love with her....
