Of the Fall [Mass Market Paperback]

Paul J. McAuley (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

When a colony ship from Earth fails to arrive on the planet Elysium, the underlying tensions between city-dwellers and illegal homesteaders erupts in violent confrontation. The lives of three disparate men become entangled with the mysterious Elysian aborigines, as an unknown force within the planet itself seeks to carry out its own designs. More interesting in its premise than in its execution, this sf novel is for large libraries only.
