Lee Vawn-Cory and Seth Reilly discovered a community of non-human castaways whose existence threatens the future of the human settlement on the frontier planet Carico. The leader of the hidden enclave frees Seth and Lee to go back to the human settlements with one task - deliver a message of peace to Carico's leaders. Lee and Seth have miles of wilderness to cross on horseback, pursued by a contingent from the enclave. And among their fellow humans, they don't know who to trust and who has their own plans for the planet. The future of Carico is on the line.

Autorenporträt
Nan C. Ballard settled in the green pastures of the Willamette Valley with her husband, horses, and four-pawed kids after three decades in the high deserts and mountains of the western US. Her technical writing and editing have included numerous environmental assessments, a county emergency operations plan, and a manual for county 9-1-1 coordinators in California. For a year, she wrote an arts column in The Modoc Independent monthly newspaper. Her poetry has been published in Willawaw Journal and the anthology Mount Shasta Reflections. Her short fiction A Tree on the Bluff won third place in the (very locally) prestigious Scott Valley, CA, Libraries Annual Writing Contest. She has written and collaborated on adaptations of several plays for community theater including a wild west Taming of the Shrew, a murder mystery for dinner theater, and an historical drama on the Modoc Indian War. She is co-chair of the Corvallis Chapter of Willamette Writers and belongs to a critique group that catches her when she strays off track. She collects daily precipitation data for the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow (CoCoRHS) project, grows a few vegetables and many weeds, crochets now and then, and posts infrequently at nancballardwriter.blogspot.com.
