Here, the colonists find help in the form of a rainbow bamboo plant, with more intelligence than most of the other plants. Once the colony moves to the city, the book speeds up a little. The archaeologist in me loved this aspect of the plot. It's a whole new world of danger.Īnd what's even cooler? The Earthicans are not the first alien species to arrive on the planet! They find a ruined city built by a civilization they call the Glassmakers, and realize from their art that they, too, came to this planet from elsewhere. I have never read a book where the first contact was with plants! And the book's beginning is super ominous, as the colonists realize fruit which was fine yesterday has turned poisonous overnight. First contact is always fun, but we usually imagine it with aliens similar to us. The book chronicles the colony through several generations, as they struggle to survive and communicate with the life forms of Pax.
They name their new planet Pax, but what they don't realize is that they've walked into a war zone between two sentient plants. Just.shut up and take my money.Ī group of disenchanted humans from Earth sets out into the universe to colonize a new world, where they hope they can build a better, peaceful society and achieve the true potential of humanity. I saw the words "sentient alien plants" and let out a loooooong sigh. So I spotted this one on a list of upcoming releases.
