Cover Art: Chris Moore (illustrator). 1986 Edition. © 1983: A part of the 'Unionside' series of books. 2nd printing of 1986 edition:- Synopsis: Set in the same future as the Hugo-winning 'Downbelow Station', but fully self-contained, this is a story on the classic theme of human underestimation of the alien. The 40,000 colonists on Gehenna are abandoned for political reasons. When the re-supply ships fail to arrive, the colony begins to collapse. But the real story is yet to come. Over a period of 200 years, the descendants of the colonists who couldn't impose Terran conditions on Gehenna become a part of Gehenna ecology themselves, by entering a partnership with the planet's native intelligence - the lizard-like, burrowing Calibans:- Review(s): "Cherryh tantalizes our minds with these enigmatic aliens, captures our hearts with her characters and involves us completely with her mix of broad and narrow views of a new culture's rise. Once again, Cherryh proves herself a consistently thoughtful and entertaining writer" - Publishers Weekly:- (original cost £2.95). Seller Inventory # 11.001.00866
