Description of  Deucalion (The Deucalion Sequence)

includes all 3 books in the trilogy... 01. Deucalion: Across light years of space, millions of settlers have come to the planet Deucalion to escape their past and build a future. Deucalion is a source of great wealth, and offers a chance of a new beginning. But what does this mean for the Elokoi, who lived there first, or for the children of Icarus, who made the journey for another reason? And why are people mysteriously dying? Author Brian Caswell merges fact and fantasy in this excursion into future-history. Deucalion is the first novel in the Deucalion Sequence trilogy. 02. The View from Ararat: One hundred years after the Revolution, the planet Deucalion enjoys a model society and life is good. But everything is about to change. Death arrives one day on the C-ship, Pandora, and suddenly no one is safe. Overnight, the old rules no longer apply. When every decision is a matter of life and death, when every friend is a potential threat, and when people can trust no one but themselves, how deep does civilization really run? 03. The Dreams of the Chosen: Telepathy, technology and eight hundred years of unbroken peace. For the younger generation, life on Deucalion is utopian but maybe just a little bit too predictable. But now, a thousand years after the settlement of the planet - and centuries after all contact was lost with Earth - an expedition, using a new and untried technology, is setting out into the unknown to discover what happened all those years ago on the mother - planet. What they find there will threaten their very survival and raise questions about what it means to be human and civilized. The Dreams of the Chosen is the long - awaited final chapter in the multi - award - winning Deucalion Sequence.
