The two hundred colonists on board the Geographic have spent a century in cold sleep to arrive here: Avalon, a lush, verdant planet light years from Earth. They hope to establish a permanent colony, and Avalon seems the perfect place. And so they set about planting and building. But their very presence has upset the ecology of Avalon. Soon an implacable predator stalks them, picking them off one by one. In order to defeat this alien enemy, they must reevaluate everything they think they know about Avalon, and uncover the planet's dark secrets. Spine-tingling ecological tale of terror. Few writers have a finer pedigree than those here. The scope of Larry Niven's work is so vast that only a writer of supreme talent could disguise the fact as well as he can. Niven is a true master. Jerry Pournelle is one of science fiction's greatest storytellers..Jerry Pournelle's trademark is first-rate action against well-realized backgrounds of hard science and hardball politics. Barnes gives us characters that are vividly real people, conceived with insight and portrayed with compassion and rare skill and then he stokes the suspense up to levels that will make the reader miss sleep and be late for work. Barnes combines imagination, anthropology and beautiful storytelling as he takes readers to the foot of the Great Mountain, today known as Mount Kilimanjaro.
