Wild Zone
Book I in the Dharman Series
By John Schettler
A shadow has fallen over earth’s latest and most promising colony prospect, Dharma VI.
When a convulsive solar flux event disables communications, Navy Frigate Achilles has been sent to the holding on Dharma VI, a recent colony prospect in the 3rd year of a lengthy certification process prior to occupation. The ship is carrying Lieutenant Timothy Scott Ryan, a Special Services operative, who is being sent in by the Administration for Frontier Affairs (AFA) to investigate sudden communications link failure on the planet. The colony on Dharma VI has not communicated with the Waystation support facility outside the system for over 30 days.
As Lieutenant Ryan enters the thick upper atmosphere in his landing shuttle, a malfunction causes him to eject. He lands on the tumbled volcanic flats of the planet, grateful that he is alive and still reasonably close to the "Safe Zone," a sterile open area branded into the face of the planet, and the site of two human installations that comprised the colony holding.
Ryan’s mission is to make contact with the Dharma facilities personnel and determine overall integrity of the colony on the Safe Zone, headed by the Planetary Conservator, Professor J. Arnot Dover. There is also a military holding company as garrison stationed at one end of the Safe Zone and commanded by Captain Beckerman. Yet no one is there...
Lt. Ryan’s search begins to uncover strange evidence that the Safe Zone has been overrun by an indigenous life form. He is puzzled to learn this, as the colony was nearing final certification status, when “control solutions” should have been in place for any dangerous life form on the planet.
Ryan befriends three robotic aids that remain active at the research station. His investigation soon becomes a struggle for survival and a search for the missing personnel begins to pull at a thread of mystery that threatens to unravel the weave of all life on the planet, indeed, of evolution itself.
