This was a great colonization story.  It was very well written.  I only had two minor quibbles with it.  The author kills off one of the protagonists in the landing of the ship on the colony world, and there is an alien species involved.  But the book does go into the social and anthropological details of how a group of people would have to organize themselves to survive on an alien planet, and does deal with some of the unexpected and unanticipated problems that colonists would possibly encounter.  A very good read and very well done.
