Starborn and Godsons (3) (Heorot Series)

THE LONG-AWAITED CONCLUSION OF THEÂ HEOROT SERIES FROM GENRE LEGENDS LARRY NIVEN, JERRY POURNELLE, AND STEVEN BARNES

Avalon was thriving. The cold sleep colonists from Earth had settled on aÂ verdant, livable world. The fast and cunning predators humans namedÂ "grendels" were under control, and the mainland outposts well established.Â Avalon's new mainland hydroelectric power station was nearly complete, andÂ when on-line would compensate for the nuclear power systems lost in theÂ Grendel Wars. Humans would have power, and with power came the ability toÂ make all the necessities for life. They would survive.

They would not survive as a spacefaring people.

What they were losing faster than they knew was the ability to get to space.Â But unbeknownst to the planet-bound humans, something was moving out thereÂ in the stars, decelerating at a rate impossible for a natural object. AndÂ its destination was Avalon. The most probable origin was Earth's SolarÂ System.

This is a novel of first contactâ€”between the human Starborn and theÂ self-named Godsons who followed on, between the first generation of AvalonÂ born humans and their descendants, and between humans and the almostÂ ineffably alien species native to their new world....
