Arbor Colony Roy Hayward

When a colony on the new world of Arbor discover they are not the only sentient life on the planet it is a struggle between the humans compromised by the alien influence of the forest and the human colonists to see who will survive and who will be the dominant life form. The struggle leads Terrance, a starship engineer, into conflict with colony leaders as they grapple with understanding the nature of the forest planet and the native life that makes this planet different from any other humans have set foot on. The colony can never go back and risk contaminating other human worlds, so whatever they choose, they must do it themselves. Survive or die trying. Some colonists are integrating with the forest life. Others are working to eliminating the threat. Neither truly understands the nature of the life native to Arbor. Facing the advanced technology of spacefaring humans, does the forest stand a chance? Facing a life form that has truly tamed a world, does the human colony stand a chance? Check out Arbor Colony and find out what happens.
