Colossus of Chaos

An insentient spherical life-form drifts from interstellar space to Titan, burrows into the sands and grows by drawing planetary energy, creating a slow but mounting menace. Aboard a passenger cruiser bound for the satellite, travelers—including a ship captain, a trader and a scientist—discuss the orb's hazards, from corrosive seas to orbital disturbances, while a young woman intends to relocate there. On the surface, colonists and commercial interests carry out excavations, attempt containment, and debate harnessing the phenomenon, setting human ambition and survival against an incomprehensible extraterrestrial force.
