Holden is roped into acting as mediator between a group of settlers squatting on a newly available habitable planet and the corporation with a rightful legal claim to that world.

Basia is a well meaning man struggling with the lengths he finds he'll go to desperately trying to do what he thinks best for his family when all he's got available are bad options.

Elvi was regrettably one-note for a lot of the story, but still hers was an interesting point of view to explore as she tries to learn about the planet and its inhabitant lifeforms and thankfully.

Havelock is in a relatably difficult position as he becomes increasinly concerned with the actions of his commanding security chief while having to also maintain a stability on the UN ship still full of scientists.

Again, a great sci fi yarn. I enjoyed every page, and appreciate sci fi that acknowledges human weakness while exploring human progress and evolution.

It lost me a little bit in the middle but man did it pay off. They do such great job of building up their characters and the science to match.
