About ebook : Brightness Reef (Uplift Series #4)
Strange visitors throw a planet of refugees into chaos in this science fiction adventure by the author of New York Times bestseller The Uplift War .
Book One in the Uplift Storm Trilogy
Centuries ago, the Buyur race abandoned Jijo. Now off-limits to settlers, it's warded by guardian machines who will protect the planet until the Institutes of the Five Galaxies declare Jijo ready-in another million years-for new civilization.
But mere laws and guardians can't keep out the desperate. Clandestine bands of "sooners" have sneaked down to the lonely planet. Six intelligent races-all refugees-have bickered . . . then built a new society in the wilds of Jijo, hidden beneath forest canopies. Together they live in harmony-and in fear of the day their illegal colony will be discovered and judgment from the Five Galaxies will rain down upon them.
One day a strange starship finally does appear on Jijo. But its owners do not bring law or judgment. Only dire secrets. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep them . . .
This ebook features a new introduction by the author.
