Book description
A WORLD THREATENED BY ITS PAST, FIGHTING FOR ITS FUTURE
Planet Jijo is forbidden to settlers, its ecosystem protected by
guardians of the Five Galaxies. Yet, over centuries, refugees of six
intelligent races have come, weaving a new society in the wilderness,
drawn together by their fear of Judgment Day, when the Five Galaxies
will discover their illegal colony.
Then a strange starship lands on Jijo. Does it bring the long-dreaded
judgment, or worse - criminals bent on destroying the six races of Jijo
in order to cover their own crimes? Can the exiles unite and find a way
to save themselves . . . and a galaxy beyond?
