The Heartseed Chronicles
For fans of Battle Royale and Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation, where the planet is more dangerous than the competitors.
Join Jacks and his extraction team as they descend upon a planet that doesn't want them there. Four corporate mercenary teams versus a hostile planet. To the winner, humanity's access to the stars. To the losers, death.
Another Snape-written winner. It has depth and legs, full-bodied like a good red wine

The target? An organic object known as the heartseed, prized by an alien race, that grows on a hostile planet.
The remit? Four corporate squads all competing for the same target, and to the winners, exclusive access to alien technology.
The catch? Six months, one hundred and fourteen teams of lost souls, ninety-three dropships, and the highest echelon of military technology, yet no one has ever come back from Futurum alive.
Time is running out, and where they’re going, everything wants to kill, eat, or lay its eggs inside them. Possibly all three.
But Jacks’ greatest enemy just might be his own mind as the creeping malevolence of the planet worms its way in. As his reality fractures, he begins to question what the aliens really want, and whether this world will ever let it go.
