The Bones of Ghosts

The Bones of Ghosts (67,069 words) The space colonists had traveled a long way to inhabit a world of temperature weather, forests thick with vegetation and wildlife for the taking. Even the gigantic lizards were no match for their flying tamed Drakkons that were used in hunting. Colonization was going well for the humans until increasing meteor storms made staying on the planet impossible. The colony city-ships unhooked from the ground and lifted into orbit where they joined their waiting mothership. The few left behind were sacrificed for the sake of the many who would be saved. This is their story uncovered by archeologists millions of years later. Originally this novel was published many years ago under the title The Drakkon Riders. Like the bones in this story the story is being uncovered again.
