A master of science fiction introduces a world where everything is
large and the problems of survival even larger in this exciting new
novel.
Hella is a planet where everything is oversized--especially the
ambitions of the colonists.
The trees are mile-high, the dinosaur herds are huge, and the weather is
extreme--so extreme, the colonists have to migrate twice a year to
escape the blistering heat of summer and the atmosphere-freezing cold of
winter.
Kyle is a neuro-atypical young man, emotionally challenged, but with an
implant that gives him real-time access to the colony's computer
network, making him a very misunderstood savant. When an overburdened
starship arrives, he becomes the link between the established colonists
and the refugees from a ravaged Earth.
The Hella colony is barely self-sufficient. Can it stand the strain of a
thousand new arrivals, bringing with them the same kinds of problems
they thought they were fleeing?
Despite the dangers to himself and his family, Kyle is in the middle of
everything--in possession of the most dangerous secret of all. Will he
be caught in a growing political conspiracy? Will his reawakened
emotions overwhelm his rationality? Or will he be able to use his unique
ability to prevent disaster?
