Galen is the retired Governor of Marsat, an artificial colony. Samara is the daughter of the Director of Continental Lloyd Corporation, one of Earth's largest companies. A chance meeting in Galen's old house propels them into a crucible of political intrique and death as Samara has to become Director when her mother is assasinated.
As with all H.M Hoover's works, this is well written, believable and exciting. The relationship between Galen and Samara is touching and sweet, without becoming cloying. The future that Hoover paints is calm but with hints of underlying trouble. I would recommend this book to any fans of H.M Hoover's other works and to anyone who has not encountered her before.

Great short novel
10 July 2000
Format:Paperback
This is a story about a short period of time in a mans life where he needs to find himself again. He returns to his homelands on earth to find everything has changed, and he must save the whole town. Great book. Along the line of Robert A. Heinlein's work. A peice of work, and a must read.
