Thomm Quackenbush
“The living who escaped the Earth might all die on the journey. A hostile planet could undo terraforming in innumerable ways. Even a common cold could mutate into a plague. But a tiny chance in the stars conquered a sure eradication on their home world.”
Thomm Quackenbush, The Lifecycle of Suns

Rachel Bach
“The place had clearly been terraformed within an inch of its life; there was just no other way continents ended up perfectly square.”
Rachel Bach, Heaven's Queen
