I can't believe it's over! I sure hope there is a sequel because we are left on a frozen planet with no hope of escape and enemies still out there!

I can't say that I always knew what was going on or where I was or who I was with in this story. There are a lot of characters and sometimes we went to another character for their part in the story and that's usually when I leave the story and lose interest, but not this time.

Graysha has a genetic disease and she is going to die young (well, for this story where people can live up to 150 years old). She wants a family, but will pass on her genetic anomaly if she bears children. Her last years look like they will be lonely ones.

Enter Lindon. He is the chairman of the Goddard plantet of which there are two factions. The Lwuites and the Gaea Scientists. Not all of the Lwuite colonists have a true faith in God, but Lindon does. Graysha is a Scientist who hates the religion of her mother which she thinks is the same religion that Lindon subscribes to. Graysha came to Goddard in hopes that the Lwuites would fix her problem but over time she comes to love this little orb in outerspace and Lindon as well.

So good, and clean.
