Strange visitors throw a planet of refugees into chaos in this science fiction adventure by the author of New York Times bestseller The Uplift War.
Book One in the Uplift Storm Trilogy
Centuries ago, the Buyur race abandoned Jijo. Now off-limits to settlers, itâs warded by guardian machines who will protect the planet until the Institutes of the Five Galaxies declare Jijo readyâin another million yearsâfor new civilization.
But mere laws and guardians canât keep out the desperate. Clandestine bands of âsoonersâ have sneaked down to the lonely planet. Six intelligent racesâall refugeesâhave bickered . . . then built a new society in the wilds of Jijo, hidden beneath forest canopies. Together they live in harmonyâand in fear of the day their illegal colony will be discovered and judgment from the Five Galaxies will rain down upon them.
One day a strange starship finally does appear on Jijo. But its owners do not bring law or judgment. Only dire secrets. And theyâll do whatever it takes to keep them . . .
This ebook features a new introduction by the author.
