Marooned on Eden (#3) Just what is it that makes us human? Just what quality impels us out to the stars, to search for meaning in our cold universe, to struggle against entropy and discover the nature of things?
The scientists on the first mission to Barbard’s Star and Rocheworld thought they knew. They were confident, secure people. They had to be to have made the cut on the stringent psychological testing required. And they were at home exploring the galaxies, at home on Rocheworld with its alien mathematical genius natives, the flouwen – at home because they had all the trappings of a million years of human technological innovation with them.
But what would happen to them if they lost their safety net of computers and gadgets? What would happen if they were – MAROONED ON EDEN
Ocean Under the Ice (#4) When the first interstellar expedition reached Barnard’s Star they found Rocheworld, and discovered therein the flouwen, giant amoeboids with a flair for math. Almost immediately, the medium-brained but high-tech humans from Earth forged happy alliance with the big-brained, lovable blobs, and a man-amoeba team set out for Zulu, the ice-shrouded moon of a gas giant in the Barnard system!
There they discovered deep oceans under the ice, and gigantic hot water geysers that spouted plumes hundreds of miles into space. The plan is for humans to investigate the huge geysers using amphibious tanks, while the flouwen, who live only for math and surfing, ride a geyser to its top.
Neither man nor blob had expected that Zulu would have a native sophont species who thrive on the nutrients around the vents that spawn the geysers – and that these natives would interpret an alien approach as an assault on their food supplies..
Rescued From Paradise (#5) Terrans Go Home!The first interstellar expedition successfully reached Barnard’s Star and its amazing double-planet – Rocheworld – and made contact with the flouwen, intelligent aquatic beings with a talent for higher mathematics and a love of surfing. The flouwen joined with the humans to explore the rest of Barnard’s planets and moons. When a landing craft carrying ten humans and three flouwen crashlanded on a habitable moon – Eden – the team was marooned on Eden with no hope of rescue until decades later when a second expedition was scheduled from Earth.
Not having another option, the marooned explorers settled down to make the moon their home, befriending the indigenous inhabitants, exploring, learning to live off the land, and, most important, raising families. They struggled to survive natural disasters and unexpected attacks from the sea. The years passed.
A new generation grows up hearing of Earth and its technology as a dim legen, and thinking of Eden as their natural home.
When the Second Expedition finally arrives, its leader announces that he has orders to rescue all the survivors. But twenty-five years have passed. Who of the original members of the expedition will survive to see Earth again, and what new sort of human now waits on Eden to be…Rescued From Paradise?
