Synopsis:
Like the 400 other passengers traveling on the space freighter Argo, Scott Thorne expected the two-year voyage to Terranova to pass quickly while he slumbered in biostasis. Little did he know that the Argo would pass through a mysterious space-time anomaly and emerge 500 years later in a distant, unexplored region of space with no hope of ever returning to Earth.
A renowned professor of planetology, Scott is enlisted by the crew to locate a hospitable world to colonize before the ship’s power reserves are exhausted. With his own life and those of the other passengers hanging in the balance, Scott directs the Argo to Proxima Tauri IIIB, the smaller world of an intriguing double planet system. At first the destination appears to be a wise choice—until the unprepared colonists land and discover what is waiting for them on the surface...
Excerpt:
Scott saw that the commander wore the dark black uniform favored by the employees of Terranova Corporation, or T-Corp, the corporate owners of the Argo as well as the administrators of the Terranova Colony. On one side of Adams’s broad chest was a stylized red “T” shaped like two intersecting narrow triangles.
Adams playfully punched Scott on the upper shoulder. “Jess tells me that you’re doing well. How do you feel?”
“Better all the time. At first I felt like I had been hit by a truck.”
