false 96284 8 In a far-flung capitalistic empire among the stars, generations of colonization without a single contact with an intelligent, non-human species have reduced the colonial process to a franchise system. Amid the abuses of the system which inevitably follow, an old woman decides not to leave when her failed colony is evacuated, thinking the freedom to live alone and die in peace is worth any risk. In this entertaining but suspenseful first-contact novel, Elizabeth Moon's apt depiction of the interaction between old and young plays counterpoint to the interaction between human and alien. 92804 book 1996 Remnant Population total:230|5:73|4:87|3:54|2:14|1:2| 230 905 320 43 4 1 false false Sat Apr 04 15:34:38 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 11:10:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Mon Nov 24 16:34:36 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 09:22:24 -0800 2008 AACK more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Dec 06 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 12:01:35 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 22 12:06:16 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Jun 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 07:03:25 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 08:21:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Oct 07 14:05:57 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 22 09:23:36 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 07 14:05:57 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 23 09:58:35 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 10:01:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Apr 20 11:04:25 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 11:06:12 -0700 2009 4 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Aug 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 13:35:27 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 13:37:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Nov 09 23:28:19 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 23:28:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jun 24 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 22:21:09 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 22:24:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Sep 02 15:15:23 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 15:22:27 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Mar 19 10:38:29 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 10:42:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Aug 09 12:33:15 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 24 20:26:13 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 12:33:15 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Jan 12 11:53:48 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 11:56:02 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jan 26 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Oct 22 23:44:14 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 23:49:38 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jun 21 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 11:30:29 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 11:31:17 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sun Oct 11 11:41:59 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 11:43:01 -0700 2009 1 5 0 false false Mon Oct 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 09:42:10 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 09:43:27 -0700 2008 1
Ms. Moon, I've just finished reading Remnant Population, four hours past my bed time, and I can only sit here in pleased awe.
