As a \"salvage world,\" it was given to despised Earthlings, assigned to reclaim it from the brink. Many senior Galactics--leaders of the Five Galaxies--hoped humanity would fail. But now Garth is peacefully surging back, tended by human and neo-chimpanzee colonists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Meanwhile, enemies desperately seek some way to coerce Earthclan, looking for a possible answer to the secret of the Progenitors. One of them--the Gubru avian race--prepares to invade and hold hostage defenseless Garth. With Earth itself under attack by other militant forces, no relief is coming for the embattled colonists. If they are to survive, they have no choice but to band together, improvise, and learn the tactics of guerilla warfare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis book features a new introduction by the author.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Winner of the Hugo Award \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"An exhilarating read that encompasses everything from breathless action to finely drawn moments of quiet intimacy.
