found in the mining works of the colony, but most of her research was confidential. Antonio is summoned but
only to identify her corpse, and to collect a large payment, as well as the condolences and thanks for his late
wife’s work ‘for the common good and the advancement of humanity’. But he is not ready to accept this. The
loss of his wife has turned him into a living dead, and there is no end to which he will not go to dig out the

In the process, Antonio will soon understand that these events go far beyond a mysterious disappearance and
death. He discovers that his wife has opened the door to a parallel world and to all the creatures that inhabit
within it.
