Book description
Reidel had been caring for the animals on the colony ship before its
destruction. He hadn't expected to find himself the leader of the
survivors. While there were only seven of them, but they were a varied
group, both in psi powers and in temperment. He also had to deal with
the people on the Closed Planet they had been marooned on... and then
there were the enemy aliens to worry about.
