Wayside World, by George Zebrowski
One of the last survivors of the Cleopatra col-ony dares to dream again of an interstellar human community.
Never before has an extraterrestrial world seemed as real as the planet Cleopatra, in this extraordinary work of fiction. When you fin-ish the book, you will feel as though you have been there yourself—felt the intense “sunshine” on your skin, gazed at the fantastically sculpted mountains, suffered and rejoiced with the people of this exotic yet strangely familiar planet.
