The Pillars of Dawn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999709924)

Humanity is spreading throughout the cosmos. For an age, we have reveled in our ability to touch the stars. Now, we are breathing life into new worlds and calling them home.

On the planet Lumen, generations have toiled at the Pillars of Dawn to make the world habitable. As Lumen's atmosphere nears stability, something dark stirs beneath the earth.

One night, a young couple goes missing in the vast forest beyond the perimeter wall of the colony Vale. The colonists embark upon a search and rescue operation, but they find the wild to be a much more alien and dangerous place than they could have ever imagined.

As Vale faces strife within its walls, the darkness outside the colony threatens the pillars. Something has come from deep within the planet, and it wants its world back.
