| This book was mainly about a group of colonists who land on a planet they are to inhabit and are cut off from any resources of earth as well as communication to and from earth. At first everything is running smoothly until Sallah Telgar uncovers some interesting facts about one of her fellow pilots-- Avril Bitra. Avril is planning to gather up anything on this planet that may make her rich on another already inhabited planet.
As she is plotting this, Sallah pursues Avi, a man older than she is but more lovable in a way that no one else can be to Sallah. However more problems arise while these problems are batling it out, this new planet has a cloud-like mass that travels the planet and rains down grub-like things that consume everything in their path. At first it seems that this is a threat that cannot be fought but then a small dragon creature which they name fire-lizards are found out to be able to breath fire which in turn destroys the grub-like creatures that are called thread. | ||
