Decades after crash landing on the paradise moon of Rocheworld, the members of Earth's first interstellar expedition refuse to leave their beloved home when a ship from the second expedition arrives to claim them. Original.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
The fifth and apparently concluding volume of Rocheworld takes up the saga after the marooned expedition of 10 humans and 3 flouwen (i.e., aquatic sapients) has survived on the Rocheworld's habitable moon for a good many years. Now the second expedition from Earth, long in preparation, finally arrives, with strict orders to cart all humans back to their native planet. Problem is, Rocheworld humans feel they are already home and have no wish to leave. The ensuing conflict features plenty of action, much scientific ingenuity, and a good deal of wry wit. Forward and his various collaborators have always been well in the forefront among producers of readable hard sf, and this book continues their streak. Certainly no one who has followed the Rocheworld for four books will want to abandon it before finishing the fifth. Roland Green
