Product Description

This World Is Not Yours by USA Today bestseller Kemi Ashing-Giwa is the perfect blend of S. A. Barnes's space horror and Cassandra Khaw's beautiful but macabre worlds. An action-packed, inventive novella about a toxic polycule consumed by jealousy and their attempts to survive on a hostile planet.

After fleeing her controlling and murderous family with her fiancée, Vinh, Amara embarks on a colonization project, New Belaforme, along with her childhood friend Jesse.

The planet, beautiful and lethal, produces the Gray, a "self-cleaning" mechanism that New Belaforme's scientists are certain only attacks invasive organisms, consuming them. Humans have been careful to do nothing to call attention to themselves until a rival colony wakes the Gray.

As Amara, Vinh, and Jesse work to carve out a new life together, each is haunted by past betrayals that surface, expounded by the need to survive the rival colony and the planet itself.

There's more than one way to be eaten alive.

Reviews/Praise

"Narrator Catherine Ho does an excellent job voicing each of the characters and maintaining an even tone as the plot slowly simmers to a boil." —Good Quiet Kitty
