Saving Paludis by Clayton GrahamMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Scientists from Paludis share a technological breakthrough with the Earth authorities the planet becomes a battlefield which is quickly escalating. Plus there is local aliens with their own agenda and a secret human cult is also planning to exploit the technology. Suddenly the planet becomes a battlefield. Stefan Lattanzis is a police agent and he needs to team up with a botanist and a seer in order through trust to stop the parties ripping space and time apart.
There was some serious world building in this story which painted a detailed picture of the places, characters, situations and emotions involved in this complex tale of worlds, technology and human nature. It was a salutary tale of what greed can do to people and the extent their behaviour will either sink low or become something of legend. I think so many of the themes in this story have equivalents in today's world and is like the modern science fiction version of a morality tale. It was very well written and enjoyable.
