But why is it green?Paul Fabron, son of a billionaire French industrialist, wants to make a name for himself. Being first to set foot on a new Earth-like planet would do that. His astronomer friend Rick thinks he's located one, in the habitable zone of the star Delta Pavonis. It's too far for any existing ship to make it in one hop, but Rick thinks he has a route. All Fabron has to do is get them a ship, and a crew. But Earth-like planets should look blue and white from space. This one clearly has oxygen in its atmosphere, so why is it green?Fans of Alastair Mayer's T-Space series may think they know the answer, but what they don't know is how Fabron managed to get there in the first place, and the troubles he and his crew ran into, not just along the way, but on their return. Find out, and discover Delta Pavonis.
T-space builds an interesting premise. Using newly discovered warp technology, habitable planets are discovered around nearby stars. However, they all appear to be terraformed using ancient earth biology. This is one of the stories of discovery and it’s an enjoyable read. One thing that makes T-Space different is that earth is not a dystopian mess. The tech is better but folks are folks. Looking forward to the next adventure.
The world building in the T-Space universe is excellent, and the characters in Discovery are believable and fun. The story is a little dry in the technical spots but was overall entertaining. I look forward to Paul's further adventures, hopefully with Rick and Mary.
This book is a good read about the expedition to an uncharted world. It was good on details in planning the expedition and once on the planet lots of interesting events that will definitely lead to a sequel.
