I collected the cards and bean to shuffle them half-heartedly, wondering whether I could squeeze a few last drops of competitive enthusiasm from my turgid brain.

THE DAEDELUS
MISSION:2


The planet called Dendra seemed too good to be true.  One vast forest world, marvelous climate, few dangerous beasts, a balanced hospitable ecology - all should have spelled out a good place for a human colony.

But the original survey team had registered doubts, listed it as borderline without further explanation.  Nevertheless the politicians had okayed it and a colony had been landed there... and a hundred and fifty Earthly years has passed without anyone hearing from it.

Now the recontact vessel Daedelus was coming to check up - and they found the climate as marvelous as before, the forest green and friendly, and the colony as inexplicable disaster.  There was a biological and psychological puzzle that had to be solved for the sake of all human worlds - and for the crew of the Daedelus it was either crack it or crack up.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
