Four years into a survey of the asteroid belt, a small ship is nearly out of water, and the closest supply is the quarantine station orbiting Mars, where everyone leaving the planet waits out a year. The station has been silent for most of that year. The ship's executive officer leads the boarding party, as he always does, and he has never lost a man.

Inside, the corridors sit at forty below, and in the one warm room hundreds of colonists hang in rows, alive and asleep, each carrying something that turns toward heat. The first boarding costs him a man. Whatever came up from beneath the planet's ice hunts warmth, so the crew shuts down its reactor and lives in the dark, hauling the only clean water out of a freezer as their air runs down.

Then they learn the station is climbing out of orbit on its own, steering toward the sun with hundreds of sleepers aboard. The executive officer has days to finish the haul and stop it, and every man he sends back inside may not come out.

For eight years, the head of a minor house on Callisto has chosen which of his people go up to the ring above Jupiter. There each house docks a sealed module packed with men strapped upright to the walls, and after three days the module with fewer living heartbeats is vented and dropped into the clouds. It is how the houses have shared the planet's wealth for a century.

This season, a hull that no one built climbs out of the depths and joins the game. The counters hear three hundred and twelve hearts inside it. Every crew it docks beside loses, and the dying is slow: it closes over their module and waits for hours while the whole ring listens.

When he learns that it always takes the fullest module, he understands that he fed it his own first crew, and that at this rate his house will run out of modules before the season ends. To save the people left on his rolls, he must learn what the thing is and decide how much more of his house he is willing to give it.

For eighteen years, a colony at the Moon's south pole has lived on what comes through a gate of two iron rings, one in Houston and one in a lunar crater. Food, mail and every tank of air cross in a single stride, until the morning something fills the ring from rim to rim and spills onto the floor, its eyes taking whatever stands still.

The air will last two weeks, and the nearest rocket is seven months from flying. The gate's keeper, an electrician who flew up on the final rocket and stayed, finds the one way through: a crawl on his side between the creature's hide and the iron, through a hundred feet of crushing dark, while whatever it swallowed rolls over him. Each morning it grows heavier, and the gap grows tighter.

Now he must guide every colonist and stranded day-tripper through before Houston kills the creature and seals the gate for good. And every yard he crawls brings him closer to learning what really went missing all those years he signed it away as ordinary loss.
