Two crew members decide to bear a child. The girl, Elyse or “Ark angel” discovers what the possibilities of survival are. Actually she is one of the few survivors once her shuttle lands on the planet. The target planet however is in a permanent state of winter. Icefields all around, no open water. Snow white, empty, like death. Flash backs and short storylines in the present time gives this novella a feeling of loneliness.
