Midas by Ryan North
4.0
This is a pretty amazing story.
Suppose that when King Midas wish that everything he touched, turned to gold, that mean not that when he used his hand to touch something, but everything that touched him, including the air he breathed. And each molocule, in turn, would change things to gold, if it was touched, and so on, until the whole world, including King Midas were turned into gold.
And on that day, all life on earth died. And although gold was still rare through the rest of the universe, it was not so on earth. And so the galactic government, hid the planet, and didn't allow anyone to approach it, until our heroes did. And that is where the story begins.
The crew wants to solve the mystery of the gold planet, and discover why it has been hidden so long.
Along the way, there is evil and adventure, and gods. All good fun.
