In the far future Terran asteroid miner Lt. Ard Jay Solstad
crash-lands on a faraway unknown planet during a meteor storm and must survive
for at least three months before the signal buoy can reach someone to dispatch
rescue. Ard is stunned to meet the last
survivor of the planet, a silicon-based humanoid who looks like the stained
glass suncatcher he had in his window as a child.
Despite the odds they fall in love as they
both try to survive on what they can glean from his ship---glass for her---and
carbon-based foods for him from the planet.
But, facing almost certain death as she cannot physically leave her
planet, Ard must leave her behind when the droid ship arrives to rescue him.
Three
years later now Captain Solstad returns with a full complement of miners for
the lucrative claim that basically gives him the planet, and settlers to
repopulate the empty planet…to find his beloved wife alive, and his SON, half
Terran and half Preth. TeeCee’s and
their son’s telepathic abilities aid in the investigation of colony bigots and
prevent tragedy, while the community and the surviving Preth come to terms with
their existence and their changed world.
Ard’s able efforts, together with his trusted Commissioner of Police
Jameson, to establish a generational world for the Terrans and the remaining
Preth, bring Ard to a stunning point in the evolution of humanity.
