✦ Synopsis


On the trail of the mystery of Saturn's disappearing moons, network journalist Gaby McAslan finds herself in Africa researching the Kilimanjaro Event: a meteor-strike in Kenya which caused the stunning African landscape to give way to something equally beautiful – and indescribably alien. Dubbed the 'Chaga', the alien flora destroys all man-made materials, and moulds human flesh, bone and spirit to its own designs.
