About this ebook
Ran Lomar wanted only to be left aloneto get away from it all. That’s why he volunteered for duty on Pia 2, the most remote, isolated world in the Galazy.
His assignment was simple. The problem on Pia 2 was redwing, a plant used throughout the Galaxy as a medical fixative. Redwing grew only on Pia 2 and lately, less and less was being harvested. Lomar’s job was to find out why, and to do something about it.
A simple job. Or so it seemed. Tan Carlo Harb, the Station Officer, tried to warn him. But Lomar had to find out for himself about the strange inhabitants of Pia 2the Tocks, the Tame ones, and the Wild ones, and the mysterious, legendary “rorks” that everyone feared...

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Ran Loman is in self exile on Pia 2 a remote world. The local export crop has been facing declining supply, and he wearily sets himself to find out why. There will be a girl, and an epic journey. Not davidson's best
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I like the twist and the importance of not assuming that the first explanation is the truth. Surprised to still see in in print as a bit dated now
