Colonists
Twice, the people of Sonya have lost a planet. Rape and destruction wrenched their homeworld from them, honor forced them to withdraw from the new one they planned to make their own. Only a single hope remains of ever establishing themselves as an independent, viable society, an outside chance at an untested world offered to them by a strange member of another ultrasystem. Durgan of Korova secures the right to settle the planet Helena for the exiles on condition that they explore her and adapt themselves to her. The work is hard and the conditions under which it must be performed are alien to this community of farmers. Dangers soon arise both from space and from Helena’s wildlife, but another peril, familiar and terrible, threatens the survival of the planet herself and challenges the integrity of those who would call her their home.

Ms Griffin writes a good deal about the angst going on in her characters' minds, and that can get fairly boring. This is the least interesting of her books that I have read so far - about 6 or 7, I think. Which is sad, because the stand-alone stories have been among the most interesting. I have to admit that I skipped/skimmed a lot in this book.
