GRANGER OF
THE HOODED SWAN


They had set out from Earth in search of the promised land - and after centuries in flight they believed they had found it.  It was already inhabited, but by a primitive and peaceful humanoid race that gave them no opposition.

This was the situation when the HOODED SWAN landed on its information-seeking mission for the vast interstellar libraries of New Alexandria.  Grainger, man of the double-mind, realized early that there was something wrong about the truce between the xenophobic colonists and the docile natives.

It took a fleeing wide-eyed native child to bring the Promised Land suddenly to critical mass.  What was there about this little girl that could so take an entire planet to the edge of Kingdom Come?  That was what Grainger's minds had to find out - and quickly.

  • 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.
