“101 Best of the Best Books in the Past 25 Years”
“Beginning as straightforward Lost Colony-type science fiction, this novel takes a startling twist . . . . Hoover writes for those who prefer the SF with food for thought.”―School Library Journal
Of the original population that colonized the planet Xilan five centuries before, a mere handful of descendants remain, including Gareth. Despite disease, starvation, and hardship, they survived. Much, including their technology, was lost as they learned to adapt to Xilan’s primitive conditions. When a new expedition from Earth lands with bold plans to re-colonize Xilan, however, a clash between the “primitives” and their “rescuers” becomes inevitable.
Gareth must make a decision: accept the new ways and risk losing their identity, or cling to the past...and risk extinction.
“Superb! You look through the eyes of two young women, one explorer, the other colonist, as they meet. Their mixed emotions ring utterly true.” ―The Times Educational Supplement
A “real blockbuster of a novel. As readable as it is wise.”―The Junior Bookshelf
