    About this ebook

    A ship of explorers has crash-landed onto K24B, a planet full of vast plains and lush forests teaming with countless new species. The knowledge-hungry survivors soon discover that danger lurks in the shadows. People are taken in the night and some simply disappear without a trace – a heightened sense of desperation sets in with each person lost. Every breath becomes a matter of survival for those that remain. “A Matter of Survival” is the second story in “The Extraterrestrial Anthology, Volume I: Temblar.” The anthology contains ten short stories to make you think and tremble.

      K24B really was a beautiful planet. With an atmosphere almost identical to Earth, her rainforests, plains, deserts and seas were easily accessible to explorers like Donna Rivera and the crew of Project EnviroQuest. While other exploration crews landed on barren rocks to mine minerals, or more often desecrated lush worlds into barren rocks by mining minerals, Project EnviroQuest was one of the few exploration companies whose mission was not to destroy but to discover. PEQ was renowned for their captivating documentary videos and amazing images of life-forms previously unimaginable. These documentaries always featured Professor Regina Gilliam, a brilliant and charismatic zoologist.

      As a child, Donna had idolized Regina, reading all of her books and following her explorations on TV. Donna’s high school senior science project and essay on the habits of red squirrels earned her a scholarship at Newton University, where Regina Gilliam headed the zoology department. Donna aced all of Regina’s classes, securing herself a place on all student explorations, and finally a place on this expedition as a fellow zoologist. Donna Rivera was living her dream.
