Book 2 of the Two Worlds Epic
Humanity’s return to Earth following the devastating nuclear
war has met with catastrophe and forced the survivors to retreat to the
thriving human colony on Tau Ceti 4. With the re-colonization of Earth a bust,
the Reptons include their human friends in their own colonization plans. With
the new generation of Repton starships, the two species can reach every
habitable world within a thousand light-years of Tau Ceti.
Paul Collins and Heather Dixon are members of the mixed
Repton/human crew aboard Te Laposo, the first of these new super ships. Their
mission is to seek out planets suitable for habitation and to return to Tau
Ceti to report.
However, the new hyper-drive still has bugs in it. When the drive malfunctions and hurls them
far across the Milky Way, they find themselves more than 50,000 light-years
from Tau Ceti with no way to get home. Nor is fixing the hyper-drive their only
problem. The local stellar neighbor-hood is full of danger and crowded with
other spacefaring species, some of whom are not happy to see them…
