R B Banfield

Legend of a Burning Star R B Banfield

It is 2167 and new planets have been found and colonisation has begun. The first such planet, Harax Pras, after years of hard work and terraforming, is now a flourishing world and building its population, but the ground is rumbling and cracks are appearing. While working to bring more people into his family's estate, Tarron Rees is challenged to know more about his grandfather Jupe Beggs, a former space pilot and hero to the new world. He is encouraged by Freefall Calp who claims that he knew him and is keen to help, but Tarron knows that the Calp family cannot be trusted. A page-turning thriller set in the early days of galactic colonisation, when the race is on to get out into the universe by any means possible. The sixth of the series of nine novels about the far-reaching influence of people who were only ever looking out for themselves.
