Synopsis

In a distant corner of the galaxy there was a planet. Not an icy, barren, lifeless planet, frost-bitten and frozen-over and too cold by-half; nor yet some large, bloated, gaseous planet, with whorling eddies that stormed raging in its troposphere. This planet was in habitable, and it was called Holbytla.Out in the planet’s remotest reaches, xenoarchaeologist Nob Nesbit receives an unexpected proposal. He is visited by a band of Tintin dwarfs, who seek his help deciphering a mysterious artefact known as "The Key": a relic of the First Ones, the mythical civilization that ruled Holbytla in ages past. Now the First Ones are extinct. But within this Key Nob uncovers a map to the Lost City of Ai’i—rumored to be their Master Vault, and filled beyond count with all manner of riches and treasures. And the dwarfs need Nob’s services finding it!Reluctantly Nob sets off on their grand Expedition. But he will have to tread carefully. For Holbytla may be perfectly inhabitable, but it is not perfectly safe—creatures both civilized and uncivilized wait to prey upon the unsuspecting traveler, troglodytes and gholems and hydro-serpents with monster-teeth! And their mysterious map is leading Nob and his friends into the very heart of the danger: over the planetary meridian, beyond the mountains and direct into Holbytla’s Dark Side…Where even the bravest are forbidden to go!Combining elements of both fantasy and science fiction, Holbytla is a sci-fi retelling of The Hobbit: an adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic tale, set on a dangerous world of fearsome beasts and marvelous technologies.
