Dark System: Hallan
Welcome to Hallan. The striking lavender waters and cobalt sands make this stunning planet a beacon for tourists and residents alike.
The stunning beaches, however, are closed to residents and tourists nearly a year after the disappearance of nearly 4,000 beachgoers.
A team of investigators is dispatched to determine the cause for the disappearances, and to determine if the beaches are safe to reopen. What they discover is that things aren't as tranquil on the paradise planet as they seem.
Little do the humans know that the prior inhabitants left for a reason. The entire system has been caught in a millennium-long series of events that threatens to consume them all.

After a somewhat slow start, the story really picked up. There is a very rich and engaging plot in here, although it is somewhat hidden under flat dialog and character voice. While it quickly becomes clear what each character's role to the story will be, their interactions read rather stilted until about halfway through the book, and even then dip back into the too grammatical style that can so easily plague young or new authors. But if you can get beyond that sort of nitpickiness, this is a great science fiction thriller. Reminiscent of the likes of Dick, Zelazny, and a bit of Rice Burroughs.
Very enjoyable.
