About
Harko, commandant of the rebel alliance, wore red and black warpaint on the day she was to destroy an empire. Just when victory against the CrimsonCloud MegaAI was assured, her fleet was decimated, and the few surviving capital ships fled with the enemy in pursuit. Forced to abandon ship, Harko ejected in an escape pod and crash-landed on GJ 3341 b, an uncharted super-earth orbiting a variable star.
Harko now finds herself stranded on a hostile Jurassic world of primitive technology, savage tribes, and enormous carnosaurs, where survival for a single being on her own is measured in hours. While still a solider of the Great Expiation, she makes a pragmatic decision to take refuge with the pegget, a peaceful race of evolved amphibians who take her in despite only having Paleolithic tools. Harko's radical decision of mutual existence rests on her awareness that her fusion battery was badly damaged during the crash. Every hour marooned brings her closer to permanent shutdown.
With no power grid and no generators, she has only one option... to drag the pegget across thousands of years of technological development. Set in their ways, they resist change. And the more their world is transformed, the more old conflicts blossom into war. The technology Harko creates to save herself unleashes terrifying dangers to everyone-including the very people who sheltered her. How far will Harko go to survive? And will Harko carry out the Great Expiation?
Fallen Star is the fourth book in the award-winning War of the Gods series-an epic science fiction adventure and anthropological exploration into civilization-building for fans of Robinson Crusoe, Dr. Stone, and Enemy Mine.
