Phasewave

by David Gill

Set in the future on Vennica, the central planet of a civilisation started originally by settlers from Earth, Declan, a former Justice Department investigator is hired to find out about events that happened on Bouron, the Phasewave relay base, after a young engineer, Jenna, returns to Vennica. She makes claims about the disappearance of crewmembers, destruction of installations and the presence of an alien on the planet. Set against a background of colonial unrest, changing politics and interference by the giant Phasewave Company, Declan struggles to make sense of what Jenna is saying, at the same time becoming involved in a power struggle that eventually threatens their own lives. Nobody believes stories about an alien, but what other explanation can there be? If that were the case, where is the alien now?
