From the Back Cover
Orion Treet, an itinerant and often-unemployed writer, is abducted at gunpoint. Then he is offered eight million dollars and the adventure of a lifetime. The mission? To observe and chronicle the growth of a new extraterrestrial colony: Empyrion.
Arriving on the planet Fierra, Treet discovers a civilization in decline, fragmented by millennia of mistrust and hatred. To survive, he and his odd assortment of companions must unscramble the mysteries around them . . . before time runs out for the settlement. The Empyrion novels are among Lawhead’s most captivating accomplishments of storytelling and adventure -- the best there is in science fiction. The Search for Fierra won the Campus Life Editor’s Choice Award. Look for Empyrion II: The Siege of Dome, at your local bookstore.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Fair: Heavier signs of wear. Cover Art: Richard Chetland (illustrator). 1986 Edition. © 1985: 1st in the 'Empyrion' series of books. 2nd printing of 1986 edition:- Synopsis: Eight million dollars for a special assignment, to report on the new colony of Empyrion, ten light-years from earth. It was an offer no writer, just scraping by, could refuse. But why had Cynetics Chairman Neviss gone to such lengths to track him down? Orion Treet was puzzled, but there was little time to think. Within the hour he was on board the transport, hurtling through space with a handful of oddly-assorted companions. "What they saw, streaking through the atmosphere, was a turquoise world, blue-green with vegetation, water and sky. Treet, strapped to his flight couch, watched the holoscreen. He was seeing a world no one had ever seen before. Here was a virginal world, rich and ripe, a free, unspoiled, perfect world. Or so it seemed in those first moments. How could he know, then, what lay ahead?":- (original cost £2.95). Seller Inventory # 14.005.00257
