Comments
This story was Robert Silverberg's first published work of fiction. It concerns a small crew of explorers from Earth who land on an apparently peaceful planet to survey the plant life — it seems there is little animal life. Then they find one member of the crew dead, frozen solid not far from the ship, and they discover an unexpected creature with an unexpected ability.
