Fingal's Cave

After she and fellow colonists crash land on the hostile jungle planet of Mega, rebel-scientist Izumi, widower and hermit, boldly sets out against orders on a hunch that may ultimately save her fellow survivorsbut may also risk all. As the other colonists take stock, Izumiobsessed with discovery and the need to save livesplunges into the dangerous forest, which harbors answers, not only to their freshwater problem, but ultimately to the nature of the universe itself. Mega was a goldilocks planetit had saltwater and supported lifebut the planet also possessed magnetic-electro-gravitational anomalies and a gravitational field that didn't match its size and mass. The synchronous dance of its global electromagnetic field suggested self-organization to Izumi, who slowly pieced together Mega's secrets: from its "honeycomb" pools to the six-legged uber-predators and jungle infrasoundssomehow all connected to the water.

Still haunted by the meaningless death of her family back on Mars, Izumi's intrepid search for life becomes a metaphoric and existential journey of the heart that explores how we connect and communicatewith one another and the universea journey intimately connected with water.
