About this ebook
On the distant world of Astraea-9, humanity has long believed the planet’s dense atmosphere to be a hostile, lifeless expanse. Scientist Daniel Foster is sent into the Cloud Stratum aboard the research shuttle The Nimbus, expecting to collect samples and study its unusual atmospheric conditions. Instead, he discovers something impossible: vast living organisms drifting through the skies, each carrying an entire ecosystem upon its back.
What first appears to be a floating island is revealed to be a colossal biological creature, its forests, soil, and strange airborne organisms functioning as parts of one extraordinary living system. But when the creature begins a dangerous descent into the planet’s crushing lower atmosphere, Daniel and his crew are forced into a struggle for survival.
As they descend deeper, they uncover a world where biology, geology, and atmosphere are inseparably connected. The Floating Wild is a cinematic science-fiction adventure about discovery, survival, and the breathtaking possibility that an entire planet may be alive.
