It rotated something like once a century and so had a dead zone that was high noon and a moving band of a fertile zone at the twilight edges. Not sure how good the science was but I do recall that I liked the books.
Maybe Fossil by Hal clement?
If it was Clement it would have been pretty good science, though not necessarily true in terms of how the environment worked.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
