Synopsis

The fate of Lida looms.

Agetha thought her fate was sealed, pushed to the edge of the colony to die. But with the revelation that the biomass is not only intelligent, but sentient, changes to colony are accelerating, threatening its very existence.

Those who were controlled by the biomass once again have free will. Now, the human colonists are raising their voices and for the first time really influencing their new home. The planet-wide consciousness is slipping into a crisis of identity, when it doesn't even have a sense of self.

The wilds surrounding the colony are becoming increasingly unstable, and the colonists find themselves divided into those who have been touched by the biomass and those who are still wholly human. Can one small colony survive its inner conflicts as well as the titanic might of an entire planet?

Their is alien life on the planet, but not in a form anyone expected. This, of course, leads to conflict as each side tries to understand the other. No matter the outcome, big changes are in store. This is book three of the series and it definitely builds on the previous books. That did make it rathe......more

Honestly, I thought the series ended with Book 2. But William has found far more to explore in the biomass, and the lives of the humans inhabiting this world. Fundamentally, this is a study of what it means to be human. This world and its people saw changes before they even encountered the biomass (A......more
