Enter the extraordinary universe of E. Robert Dunn!In a future where terrankind has both spread into space and cast aside racial and sexual prejudice, five survivors of a brutal alien invasion struggle for their lives-and for the future of their kind. Fans of E. Robert Dunn as well as newcomers to his work will be mesmerized by this third installment of his Echelon's End saga. PlanetFall, the birthplace of humanity is but a memory for its spacefaring descendents. Earth and most of the star system where humanity once thrived are dominated now by the conquering Tauron race-saurian beings bent on the extermination of terrankind. The starlost crew of the tiny Pioneer 4-men and women from the planet called Aidennia-are desperately trying to find their way home to rejoin the battle for humankind's freedom-and its place in the universe. But Pioneer 4's intrepid wanderers, despite their mastery of technology, find themselves captured and spit out by a wormhole-destination unknown. The five Aidennians arrive near a lush and remarkably earthlike planet, but this seeming paradise is revealed to be a world of danger and unspeakable horror. Here, the Aidennians' destiny is that of cattle. Escape seems impossible, and in fact, no place is safe: other worlds where the Aidennians might find sanctuary may already have capitulated to the Taurons. In a galaxy fraught with danger, a galaxy now dominated by a race that will not tolerate their kind, they seemingly have only two choices: fight against overwhelming odds and die, or stay always on the run, never finding the community they crave. But maybe, just maybe, there is another way . . . With Echelon's End:PlanetFall, E. Robert Dunn continues his incredible saga of strange worlds, limitless possibilities, love, longing, and the search for home. It's a journey that every science fiction fan-gay, straight, or otherwise-won't soon forget.
