Centaurus 4 is the latest mission to Proxima Centauri b. Three attempts to reach the distant planet were unmanned.

Recent advancements in space travel have reduced the travel time to 153 days at ten times light speed. The story takes place roughly two hundred years in our future.

Centaurus 4 has a crew of 16. The first three members of the crew have recently exited the ship and started their survey of the immediate area. What they experience is shocking, to say the least.
