Light levels are low. It’s killingly cold. These conditions are, it transpires, connected.
The icy landscape around you—hillocks, boulders, ravines, foregrounding a hazy, rumpled horizon beneath an opaque, lowering sky—wears a patina that shades from sepia to umber, puddled with drifts of dark sand. The atmosphere, though thick, would permit only a parody of respiration: there is no succour in it. Were it not for the insulating, carefully-regulated containment of your suit, you would be dead within minutes, frozen solid within an hour.
Welcome to Titan.
Wide Brown Land is a collection of hard science fiction short stories set in the settlements and badlands of Saturn’s haze-shrouded moon, Titan, where the landscape is as formidable a foe as the most determined adversary.
