From My Newsletter Number 18:
I came across Allen Steele who is a two-time Hugo Award winner several years ago and enjoyed his first book in the Coyote Trilogy called Coyote. This novel is about the first starship to leave Earth to colonize a planet they named Coyote, which is located in 47 Ursae Majoris. The colonists escaped from an authoritative government and are starting over on a new world. Live is difficult and Earth rulers are not quite ready to give up control to the rebellious colonists. The author creates a whole new world on Coyote and continues the trilogy with two more books called Coyote Rising and Coyote Frontier.

Mr. Steele thought he was finally through with this sage, but his readers pressed him for more stories and he relented. The result is the Coyote Chronicles with two more books called Coyote Horizon and Coyote Destiny. In Coyote Horizon the year is 2350 and the colony is thriving with more refugees arriving every day. The colonists are still exploring their new world and they learn new things about the aliens that made contact with their leaders. Unfortunately, there are still people from Earth intent upon terrorist’s acts who try to disrupt the new government and end up destroying the starbridge that links Coyote with Earth.

In Coyote Destiny the story continues with the leaders on Coyote tracking down the terrorists and re-establishing the link to Earth with help from the aliens. A new leader emerges who promotes a new message of peace on both worlds and the story of Coyote seems to have been completed. If you haven’t experienced this work, then I think you will find it entertaining and worth your reading enjoyment.
