Careful what you wish for. Some planets should be left alone.

Mutated. Hybridised. Call it what you will. Jacks wants the heartseed out of his chest ASAP before his extraction team are too far gone to save. When the call comes in from AstEx that their brand-new space station has gone silent, he sees an opportunity to rid himself of his alien passenger.

Gathering Valentine, Charlie and the ex-spy Cam back together, they pass through AstEx’s new voidgate to find the Steggyx gifted the corporation access to a mined-out solar system and a planet with a deadly secret.
Finding the station devastated, Jacks is torn between ridding himself of the heartseed, saving his team and rescuing any survivors on the planet.

And they are not alone. For this planet has eyes. And teeth. And a secret to kill for.

Guardian’s Gate takes Jacks and his team to the edge of reason and is for fans of VanderMeer’s Annihilation and Michael Crichton’s Prey.
