Spaceship Enkidu escaped a falling and poisoned Earth generations ago with its human cargo captained by Heorest Holt. Now their ship is falling apart and Captain Holt is desperate to find a new Eden for the last of Earth's population. A partially terraformed planet they name Imir is his only hope for saving the surviving cargo. Now Liff, Holt's grandaughter, at just 26 (13 by earth years) is hearing whispers from the colonists about the strangers in town not being fun a neighboring fan like they claim. One of them can fix anything even though their technology had been failing for years and all technical knowledge had been lost long ago. And Liff's teacher has radical new ideas about harvesting and the life forms on the planet. But when they shun these advanced beings it could affect the survival of the colony itself.
I like that the uplifted beings from the previous books come back to try and help the human colony. This book was a refreshing change from the first two books, although I've loved them all so far. The details of an unknown evolving species in the first books sometimes had my head spinning, so reading about humans in this book was quite different.
I was thrilled to receive an advance reader copy of this book through Orbit Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
