Genellan—a beautiful, Earthlike world where intelligent cliff dwellers waited in fear for the day the bear people would return, killing them for their fur . . .
Genellan—the only refuge for a ship's crew and a detachment of spacer Marines, abandoned by a fleet fleeing from alien attackers.
Stranded on Genellan, the humans struggled to make a home for themselves until—they hoped against hope—the fleet would return to rescue them. Lt. Sharl Buccari tried desperately to hold on to the threads of command over the spacers and the Marines—to keep her crew together and alive.
Winter was coming. No one knew if the winged natives would be friend or foe. And now the bear people were returning, intent on destroying the humans—but not before stealing the secret of hyperlight drive, the key to interstellar flight . . .

What an excellent view of multiple species interactingThis author created depth of character in human and other species as well. You find yourself almost knowing what it is like to be that species. This makes for a heartfelt complex and thoroughly enjoyable story.
I would instantly purchase the next book…waiting for more…and grateful for this one. <3Posted on

Product Reviewa little confusing at first because the story jumps at odd times to what seems like a completly different story, but when he pulls it all together at the end it all makes sense. I really enjoyed this

Product ReviewEnjoyed the series. I hope Mr Gier will continue the series, as the story still has a lot of telling to be done.
