A master of science fiction introduces a world where everything is large and the problems of
survival even larger in this exciting new novel. Hella is a planet where everything is
oversized especially the ambitions of the colonists. The trees are mile-high the dinosaur
herds are huge and the weather is extreme so extreme the colonists have to migrate twice a
year to escape the blistering heat of summer and the atmosphere-freezing cold of winter. Kyle
is a neuro-atypical young man emotionally challenged but with an implant that gives him
real-time access to the colony's computer network making him a very misunderstood savant. When
an overburdened starship arrives he becomes the link between the established colonists and the
refugees from a ravaged Earth. The Hella colony is barely self-sufficient. Can it stand the
strain of a thousand new arrivals bringing with them the same kinds of problems they thought
they were fleeing? Despite the dangers to himself and his family Kyle is in the middle of
everything in possession of the most dangerous secret of all. Will he be caught in a growing
political conspiracy? Will his reawakened emotions overwhelm his rationality? Or will he be
able to use his unique ability to prevent disaster?
