Colony in Peril
O ovoj e-knjizi
They Battle Tomorrow’s Deadliest Enemies…
Armed for justice, trained to kill—they are the best of the best. Star Commandos. A military elite, forged in a galactic conflict. War's end marks the beginning of their mission: to protect human colonies from the blood-drenched clutches of post-war scavengers.
On the newly settled planet Jade, Commando-Colonel Islaen Connor falls prey to a cosmic conspiracy fired by greed. A savage band of outlaw spacers terrorize the planet, pirating shipments of precious gems known as River Tears. They're convinced that nothing can stop them. Not the laws of the Settlement Board. Not the peace-loving colonists. Not even the Star Commandos...
Obviously, the outlaws don't know who they're dealing with.
“Excellent SF adventure!”—Andre Norton
O autoru
Pauline (P. M.) Griffin has been writing since her early childhood. She enjoys telling a good tale, and since she always works with characters and situations deeply interesting to her, she finds the research as rewarding as the scribbling/keying.
Griffin’s Irish love of story telling coupled with her passion for history, the natural world, and the above-mentioned research have resulted in thirty novels and twelve short stories, two Muse Medallion Award winners among them, all in the challenging realms of science fiction and fantasy. She has also written several nonfiction articles, primarily for the Brooklyn Aquarium Society’s publication AQUATICA, several of which have won the Editors Choice for Excellence Award.
She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her cat Nickolette and two tropical fish aquariums.
