Girl in Landscape

A genre-bending coming-of-age tale set on the frontiers of space, this book explores science, landscape, and the metaphysics of love and loss. Pella's father, Clement, seeks to join the first human settlers on the Planet of the Archbuilders, which was once inhabited by a super-evolved alien species. However, this endeavor puts him at odds with the xenophobic homesteader Ephram Nugent. Will Clement be able to forge a community that embraces the Archbuilders?
