Book
Alien clay / Adrian Tchaikovsky.
"On the distant world of Kiln lie the ruins of an alien civilization. It's the greatest discovery in humanity's spacefaring history and its most mysterious. Professor Arton Daghdev has always wanted to study alien life up close. Now his wishes have become reality in the worst way. His political activism sees him exiled from Earth to Kiln's extrasolar labor camp. There, he's condemned to work under an alien sky until he dies. Kiln boasts a ravenous, chaotic ecosystem like nothing seen on Earth. The monstrous alien life is not welcoming to humanity, and Arton will risk death daily if the camp's oppressive regime doesn't kill him first. But if Arton can somehow escape both fates, he will discover that the world of Kiln holds a wondrous, terrible secret. A secret that will redefine life and intelligence as he knows it, and it might just set him free..." -- Provided by book's back.
