On Essex Prime, there have been no reports or communication with the colonists who are currently living there. It has been over 200 days since the last report.
Doctor Soran Ingram, an artificial intelligence with a psychology education, is sent with a team of others to investigate what happened and hope to find survivors. When the team arrives they find most of the colonists dead and one alien, that Soran knows. As Soran figures out what has happened, it seems history might be repeating itself.
The story starts out very strong. I enjoyed the writing, the narration and the plot. However, the ending happened so fast it left me feeling cheated for a better ending. This is a novella, so it is expected to be a shorter story, but I didn't feel like it was a complete story. Overall, I would want a better understanding as to what exactly happened. What was it about the planet that made the colonists and rescue team act the way they did? I don't understand it completely.
