The Wolf Enigma. The Exoplanet Survey, #1

The Wolf Enigma - A short story. Forty-four light-years from Earth. Earth's first interstellar voyage to an Earth like world. When the exploration vessel Unity touches down on Wolf 1069b, its crew expecting routine survey work and the search for life. Instead, they find a tidal locked planet shrouded in permanent day or night. A harsh environment full of hazards and promise. From an accidental discovery triggering the hunt for alien life on the dark side of the planet.
Using techniques for the hunt for DNA or its precursors and finding no sign of earth like life. Continuing the search and using geological test data they discovered something astonishing. The source of the UV emissions was not what they expected nor did the data make sense. They had found something new. A tale of tension, discovery, and the possibilities of the Earth like planets to answer the eternal question - Are we alone?
