brief_description
When the Zoromes discover that the sun of Ajiat will burst into nova in just a few days, they decide to explore the planet and warn any friendly life-forms that might exist there. But instead of friendship the Zoromes meet only savagery, as the brutish inhabitants of this heavy-gravity world attack their exploring parties. Professor Jameson and his comrades find themselves imprisoned on a planet which faces fiery destruction at any minute.
