Synopsis

When the colony ship Pacific Unity emerges from the interstellar portal, the colonists discover they have arrived in the wrong system. While the system does have an Earth-like planet, it is already occupied and their charter forbids settlement on inhabited worlds. After negotiating with the inhabitants, the Pacificans set up a temporary colony on an uninhabited continent. They are confronted with many questions, the foremost being: Where are we and how did we end up here? Without this knowledge, they cannot plot a course to their original target. Then there is the question of what is causing the psychic changes in their children, and the cellular changes everyone soon experiences. Contact with Earth brings the news that theirs is the only colony ship that did not return to the home world, another mystery. Increasing tension between the colonists and the permanent inhabitants, the Sab’lichi, creates more pressure to find an uninhabited world where they can settle.
