With the matters at Tyre resolved and parliament aligned with Tanis's resolutions, things move forward once again with the preparations for what Erin fears will come.

She was born within the sound of the bells of Mary-le-Bow church in Cheapside, London, making her a bona fide Cockney, and she lived in Australia, Laos and Taiwan before returning to the UK to settle down in Cambridge.

Sci-fi suspense and imaginative writing at its best
Another successful return to Aeon 14s space colonization adventures with our favourite engineer. Problems at home and at work cause issues for Erin and the looming spectre of Picotech theft as always never seems far away. Cooper and Green create a wonderful realistic planet with all too real situations that just demand constant page turning
It is four years after the last book. Erin, Isa, Martin and their son Jude are now living and working on Troy. Isa is opening her own interactive art gallery, Erin is building the space station, and Martin is helping his friend Lindsey finish up her underwater safari. Myrrdan's agent is still around waiting to try again to steal the picotech.
I really like this book because it shows so much of the characters' lives, the building of the planets, and the eco-system. Yes, there is fighting, and unrest. Yes, there is betrayal and danger. But in the end everyone is safe, a failed attempt to steal the Pico reveals Myrrad's agent, and our main characters are off on a vacation.
Another good entry in the series. As well as continuing to see what economics and terraforming is like, we also get more of an insight as to what politics are like in the future, and how while humankind has advanced in the future, similar traits still remain. A bit more of troubled waters for the main throuple, but is shown and worked through well, in amidst some good tension and action throughout the book.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed these tangential stories and look forward to reading many more. I often find that a long series of books can become formulaic but that is not the case here. The many threads weave into a rich story full of detail all within a much grander opus.
There are some stories that really pull you in. Troy is one of these stories. When the throuple find themselves at odds because of an event that disrupts a party for Isa's new gallery, I found myself telling at the pages! Great job, Ms. Green! You and Mike did a bang-up job on this story! Loved it!
What Erin and her family expected to be a new experience and world for them to work and live turns out to be more exciting then expected. Myrrdan is there and still wanting to get him hands on pico. Looking forward to see where the next book take us.
This book is a little short in length but the drama is breathtaking. Martin and his son, Jude, are in danger; Erin and Isa are far away. Can either of them save their family?
The change is great. This story makes you think back and recall events that have happened and it is like discovering the events all over in a new light
