"A fast-paced adventure" on a barren, mysterious planet from the Hugo Award–winning, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: Heir to the Empire (UPI). Chasing a new frontier, humankind sends a manned starship into the universe and away from the overpopulated Earth in hopes of finding a new planet to colonize. But every Earthlike world they discover is already inhabited. As it turns out, the universe is a very crowded place. An alien council offers to lease the one remaining uninhabited world: Astra, a bleak and barren but serviceable planet. The new settlement, though, quickly experiences serious problems, from dying crops to the mysterious disappearance of anything and everything that is made of metal. And then Astra reveals a secret neither the aliens nor the human governments could ever have imagined. "Brisk and entertaining." —Publishers Weekly
