Orphaned as a boy and raised in the Czech countryside by doting grandparents, scientist Jakub Procházka has risen to become the country’s first astronaut. On a dangerous solo mission to Venus, Jakub befriends a possibly imaginary giant alien spider. Will their philosophical conversations and intense bond be enough to see him through?

Customer Reviews
“An exhilarating concoction of history, social commentary, and irony . . . manages to be singularly compelling while still providing mass appeal. Highly recommended.”
