Produktbeschreibung

Modern-day Japan is the stage for a new take on hard science fiction, as author Nobuaki Tadano revisits one of the genre's grand masters, Hal Clement, in his debut work.

On a clear calm night, while on a class trip to the beach, Hikaru Takabe decides to go for a walk to escape the shackles of peer pressure. Observing the stars above a dark sea, she is struck by a meteor and disintegrates in an instant. Flash forward one page, and she is sitting amongst classmates in school without a scratch on her.

What she can't shake off is the strange buzz coming from her new pair of headphones...
