Synopsis: In the 23rd century, the fierce dispute between the United States and China continues in another solar system. On a planet to be colonized by the Americans, six explorers set off on a mission to a continent full of dangers. When they get there, the explorers discover that China has secretly sent scientists who have created hybrids between humans and the beings that inhabit the place. It soon becomes clear that the problems facing the explorers are not limited to the surprises left by the Chinese mission, and that nature and the local fauna pose a perhaps greater threat. The members of the mission also have to overcome relationship problems among themselves that can have a fundamental influence on the success or failure of the mission. Expedition to Canaan is the debut novel by German author Marcus Pleta.
