Tash, Zak, and Uncle Hoole need a special mineral for the "Shroud's" engines. The only place to get it is a mining colony . . . in the middle of an asteroid belt infested with space slugs.
The journey to the mining colony is filled with danger. But nothing prepares Hoole, Tash and Zak for what they find when they reach their destination.
An ancient life-form has been released from its tomb. It has lurked there, waiting, for many years. It cannot be seen. It is made from pure evil. And its name is Spore.
