Of the Fall

The science fiction novel is set on the colony world of Elysium, a lush planet described as a paradise with a peaceful, aboriginal-level alien population. However, all is not well among the human settlers. The capital, Port of Plenty, maintains a powerful grip on the outlying settlements by hoarding new technology delivered by Earth's colony ships and governing with an 'iron hand'. The story follows two men—Richard Florey, a university employee in the city, and Miguel Lucas, a settler who has 'gone dingo' or 'gone native'—as they are caught up in a burgeoning revolution. This civil conflict among the colonists has the potential to awaken the mysterious alien aboriginals and fundamentally alter the destiny of Elysium.
