What could be more innocuous than grass? Or more idyllic than a world covered with a wind-whipped ocean of verdant plains?
But the planet Grass conceals horrifying secrets within its endless pastures.
And as an incurable plague attacks all inhabited planets but this one, the prairie-like Grass begins to reveal these secrets – and nothing will ever be the same again…
Religion, aristocracy and patriarchy, environmental hubris, loss of tradition, loss of control, loss of mind - unsettling uncanny angles pile up to a dramatic peak here, unsurprisingly not exactly satisfying but inventive and powerful.
