Disboard | 1 comments Looking for a book in which a large group of people are sent to a new land. Their objective should be either exploration/colonization. It should be very difficult to contact the homeland/home planet/point of origin.

I am mainly looking for types of conflicts that will appear in such an endeavor. Conflicts, if possible, should be inside the group.

Thank you in advance!

Aerulan | 1317 comments Freedom's Landing by Anne McCaffrey, people get dumped on an alien planet as a test of it's habitability and have to survive.

For something darker but still very good
The Last Hour of Gann Earth's first attempt at colonists crash land on the wrong planet. It's got A LOT of interpersonal conflict among the survivors. It's also got pretty graphic violence and sex so if that's an issue for you, you may want to skip it.
