The
Bio Park is the ultimate playground. A fully functioning ecological
system almost a mile underground--later converted to an amusement
park--it took years to build and hundreds of millions to develop.
Unfortunately, it is losing money, so Linked Corporation has
decided to seal the thirty foot doors with thousands of tons
of blasted earth until the park has accrued in value.
The closing
party drew a huge crowd of sightseers, thrill seekers, and partiers,
even at a thousand dollars a head, but, perhaps inevitably, the
doors closed on a small group of unfortunate stragglers. Under
these terrifying circumstances--a limited food supply, little
shelter, and few tools--these strangers will have to learn to
work together. To some, staying alive means escape by burrowing
through tons of rock, if necessary. To others, it means building
a home out of a biosphere-turned-theme park.
Complicating
their attempt to survive is their growing suspicion that they
are being watched. Does someone know they are inside the biosphere
and if so, what plans do they have for the small group of settlers?
Under the eyes of possibly malign voyeurs, their decisions are
crucial, because buried under the earth, mistakes are not forgiven,
and time is running out.
