Four Hundred Billion Stars
Dorothy Yoshida is a telepath, and a really rather good one at that.
She's also a scientist, and when a small planet begins to manifest some
unusual signs she is sent to investigate. The planet is more than it seems,
and on further investigation the scientists begin to suspect it has been
artificially altered. But despite their suspicions the only life they can
detect is on the surface, none of which has advanced far above the level
of animals. And despite the hopes of mankind to find something which will
help them in a burgeoning war against other species, there seems to be
nothing there to aid them. With Dorothy's arrival, however, they are in
for some surprising discoveries.
Secret Harmonies
Like Earth before the Age of Waste, the planet Elysium has boundless oceans,
clean skies, lush forests and fertile plains; its primitive aborigines seem
harmless.
Yet all is not well in Paradise. Citizens descended from the first colonists
benefit from the new technologies brought from Earth, but ruthlessly suppress
the expansionist plans of the new settlers. Richard Florey knows at first
hand the prejudice against his people; so does Miguel Lucas, a settler .gone
dingo., living wild and free despite the laws of the city. As the iron grip of
the city tightens, so the two men find themselves at the heart of a revolution,
upon which hangs the future of both humans and aliens.
Eternal Light
In the aftermath of an interstellar war an enigmatic star is discovered,
travelling towards the Solar System from the galactic core. Its appearance
adds a new and dangerous factor in the turbulent politics of the inhabited
worlds as the rival factions - the power-holders of the Reunited Nations,
the rebels who secretly oppose their power, and the Religious Witnesses -
all see advantages to be gained. But what awesome technology started the star
on its journey half a million years ago - and why? From the endless carnival
on Titan to an earth ruled by the fanatic Witnesses; from the depths of space
and the galactic core to the border between reality and the manifold infinity
between universes, Eternal Light is huge in scope, breathtaking in ideas and
packed with life, character, atmosphere and incident.
