The Serrano crew’s excursion to Veltegar goes awry when they’re chased by a giant space lobster and crash land on the desert planet. While Eloy repairs the ship, Kent, Ada, and Nexus seek the lost Human settlement they came to find. Trouble arises when they’re attacked by a tidal wave of carnivorous scarabs. These are smart bugs, and even C-LA will need a hand if they’re to survive. Meanwhile, Ada continues her search alone. What she discovers would put a smile on the face of any flavor aficionado. But something unexpected finds her—something that will mark the beginning of a whole new adventure.
