Alien Clay

Alien Clay

Adrian Tchaikovsky
Sci-Fi, Space Opera

Professor Arton Daghdev was sentenced to exile, not discovery. But Kiln—harsh, haunted, and crawling with alien life—has other plans.

Once a respected xeno-ecologist, now a political prisoner, Arton arrives at a brutal penal colony hidden on a planet where survival is a daily negotiation. But among the tangled biomass and predatory creatures lie ruins. Ancient. Inexplicable. Built by something not human.

Kiln holds secrets buried beneath layers of evolution and silence. If Arton can outlast the tyrannical camp commandant, the planet’s ecosystem, and his own unraveling mind, he might uncover knowledge that could shift the future of Earth itself.

Adrian Tchaikovsky delivers a staggering vision of alien history and human resilience in a tale where curiosity is dangerous—and extinction has precedent.
