Publisher's Synopsis
Earth's controlled environment is failing, and humanity's last hope lies with New Earth, the planet the Keepers of Jeronimo and their followers fled to a thousand years ago. One ship of the 81 that were sent, the Red Angel 42, finds New Earth and sends the happy message home once reaching orbit. Humanity's survival is ensured, or so they think. Captain Sumari's crew will have two years to prepare what they can for the arrival of colonists. Once planetside, Captain Sumari and his crew make contact with the descendants of the Jeronimo loyals only to discover they have no machines, no metal, and no memory of their ancestors... or Earth. The only one not surprised to see them is a young woman named Nimo. She sees millions of people in the Dome of Souls - an entity bestowing revelations both personal and powerful to a chosen few - and so is quite open to the strangers' arrival. Nimo quickly finds herself torn between her people and the Earthlings, and becomes entangled in the fight for survival Sumari and his crew face against the hazards of the new planet and Nimo's superstitious people.
