The colonists feel sure that their friendship will keep them together. Only then do they begin to realize that they've brought with them rather more than they bargained for.<BR><BR>For one of them, it seems, has been hiding a terrible secret from the rest of the company. And when the truth begins to emerge, it soon becomes clear that the war is far from over. <BR><BR>With masterful storytelling, irresistible wit, and extraordinary insight into human nature, K.J.
