CITY OF PEARL by KAREN TRAVISS
|
SummaryThree separate alien societies have claimson Cavanagh's
Star. But the new arrivals -- the gethes from Earth -- now
threaten thetenuous balance of a coveted world. Environmental Hazard Enforcement officer Shan Frankland
agreed to lead a mission to Cavanagh's Star, knowing that
150 years would elapse before she could finally return
home. But her landing, with a small group of scientists and
Marines, has not gone unnoticed by Aras, the planet's
designated guardian. An eternally evolving world himself,
this sad, powerful being has already obliterated millions
of alien interlopers and their great cities to protect the
fragile native population. Now Shan and her party -- plus
the small colony of fundamentalist humans who preceded
them -- could face a similar annihilation . . . or a fate
far worse. Because Aras possesses a secret of the blood
that would be disastrous if it fell into human hands -- if
the gethes survive the impending war their coming has
inadvertently hastened.
