description: Colonists from Earth form two settlements on adjoining planets of the Tau Ceti system. One colony tries to survive by dominating the natural forces that they encounter, while those who land on the planet Ceti apply sound ecological principles and strive to live harmoniously in their new environment. Nonetheless, the Cetians encounter a terrible dilemma—the only edible food on the planet appears to be a species of native animals called the Hlur. Teen-age colonists Maya Gart and Brock Magnus risk their lives in a desperate effort to save their fellow colonists from starvation without killing the gentle Hlur.
