The fourth book in the thrilling Donovan sci-fi series returns to a
treacherous alien planet where corporate threats and dangerous creatures
imperil the lives of the colonists.
Where does one put a messianic cult of practicing cannibals? That
becomes the question when Ashanti appears in Donovan's skies. She was
designed for no more than four years in space. It's taken ten. The crew
has sealed the transportees onto a single deck--and over the years, the
few survivors down there have become monsters. Led by the messiah,
Batuhan, they call themselves the Unreconciled.
Supervisor Kalico Aguila settles them at remote Tyson Station. With the
discovery of a wasting disease among the Unreconciled, it's up to
Kalico, Dya Simonov, and Mark Talbot to try and deal with the epidemic.
Only Batuhan has plans of his own--and Kalico and her people are to be
the main course.
Talina Perez has brokered an uneasy truce with the quetzal molecules
that float in her blood. Now, she, young Kylee Simonov, a quetzal named
Flute, and a clueless nobleman named Taglioni rush to save Kalico's
vanished party.
But as always, Donovan is playing its own deadly game. Lurking in the
forest outside Tyson Base is an old and previously unknown terror that
even quetzals fear. And it has already begun to hunt.
