A hundred and fifty years in the future, the United States and China launch a joint mission to send an interstellar voyage to a carbon-rich planet composed almost entirely of diamond. The crew’s mission: to mine the planet of its riches and transport them back to Earth. But what they don’t realize is that they aren’t the first to set foot on this strange new planet…and the original visitors might not be willing to share.
