Description

Science Fiction Book Club Selection Sharl Buccari was a living legend. She had established a foothold on Genellan—a beautiful new world, raw and unforgiving—becoming allies with the native cliff dwellers. Now the challenge was to engineer peace with the other race inhabiting the same system—the kones—and to build a colony for the children of humanity.

Review by: Michael Sanches on April 01, 2012 :
I have enjoyed the first 2 books in the series. I like the interaction of the 4 different species. There is a nice combination of space science fiction with the wide outdoors. I enjoy how the author adapts technology to both the physical and social characteristics of each race. The story and plot I rate a 5. The writing, itself, is a bit tedious. I can handle it, because I like the story. This is definitely one of those books you want to preview. If you enjoy the first 10% (not too tedious for you), you will enjoy the series. I found it a bit difficult to follow his spaceship explanations. However, I think he has done a great job in providing a superior description of space travel and how people would cope.

Review by: Bruce Andis on Oct. 13, 2011 :
I was captivated by Gier's first in this series, "Genellan: Planetfall." The second "Genellan: In The Shadow Of The Moon," meets the expectations built by the first. Happily, readers of "In The Shadow" will get to spend lots of quality time with my favorite character -- the planet Genellan.

Buy this book. You will not be disappointed.
