This Science Fiction novel covers all the topics you would expect when there are billions of people on a planet that just can’t get along.
Topics such as: Nuclear Arms Race, Nuclear War, Religious Unrest, Anti-gravity, Interstellar space travel, Colonization… and a Hidden Planet.
Tazo is a young Airliner Pilot on planet Tirella. He has an opportunity to become a Captain of a spaceship and leaves Tirella to explore the hidden planet, having no idea what would happen to him with all the odds against him.
With this fourth book Doug leaves Earth and the Charma behind, giving a slightly different colonization story from a slightly different perspective. His standard sense of balanced timing that invokes drama without too much lingering suspense shines through yet again. Good news with moments of suspense and bad news flow smoothly through the story. Since I know the author personally (and proud of it), I can see him and our co-workers vividly in the story. I honestly cannot get enough of these books.
