Martha’s Sons

Your parents thought they were emigrating to a terraformed planet. That didn’t happen.

Now you’re second generation on a lost colony world.

You’re one of Martha’s sons.

Will Peter Dawe’s perilous mission with a brother he despises end in death?A lost starship’s settlers, isolated on an uncharted alien world, manage to terraform a mountain-ringed valley into a rich replica of Earth. Despite their success reproducing the environment they need to survive and thrive, only tenuous forces hold together the human colony on the world of Not What We Were Looking For. The governor’s appropriation of the western settlers’ weapons for the city strains those bonds to breaking point, and then beyond when Peter Dawe’s father sends him to get the weapons back.
