      About This Book

      After a hundred pioneer years the colony on Hestia seemed to be nearing its end. Its holdings on that green and fertile planet were still limited to a single river in one valley. Everywhere else hostile fauna hedged them in.

      A dam could break the deadlock, and they needed an engineer to construct it for them. Sam Merrit was the man who came in answer to their S.O.S.—and he wanted out as soon as he had landed. But once down on Hestia, it was live or die with the colony.

      So Sam stayed —to discover certain anomalies that the hardscrabble colonists had thrust from their minds.
