The Gates of Eden: A Science Fiction Novel
Stableford, Brian M
Despite the development
of a faster-than-light drive, Earth’s space program has been in the
doldrums for centuries, as has Earth itself. Hyperspace being impossible
to navigate without beacons at which to aim, there is no alternative
but to wait for vessels sent out at sub-light speed decades previously
to find somewhere worth going.
Unfortunately, when a worthwhile
planet finally turns up, it doesn’t take long for political conflicts to
materialize over its exploitation. Then, when an entire survey team
perishes, the problems intensify.
Lee Caretta is the man most
likely to solve the problem—if his conflict-ridden employers will let
him, if he can keep his tendencey to suffer unexplained blackouts under
control, and if the world really is sufficiently Earth-like not to be
deadly to the explorers.
And then the humans begin to die once more!
