From Gentry Lee, New York Times bestselling co-author with Arthur C. Clarke of the Rama series, comes the magnificent sequel to Bright Messengers, his first solo novel set in the Rama universe. In Double Full Moon Night, Lee continues the saga of Johann, Beatrice, and the Martian colonists chosen to embark on one of the most thrilling and mysterious adventures in human history. For engineer Johann Eberhardt, life has come down to this: a tiny but bountiful island inside a vast alien sphere that is both paradise and prison. Eight years ago, Johann, accompanied by nine Martian colonists, entered the sphere with his beloved Beatrice, priestess-bishop of the Order of St. Michael, searching for the true nature of the mystical visitors some said were extraterrestrial--and others said came from God. Once inside the sphere, the colonists were separated and Johann has since lived in virtual isolation to raise the daughter Beatrice left behind after her tragic death. Now the island paradise Johann shares with the child Maria has been invaded by a violent and enigmatic life-form. Risking everything, Johann begins a dangerous journey across the water in search of safety and his fellow colonists. It is an odyssey that is beset with deadly peril: from strange sentient creatures to imprisonment in an underwater world by a species whose motives may be benevolent. But it is when the colonists are reunited and transported to an exotic planet that the true challenge for survival begins. For as dissension and jealousy threaten to divide his fellow settlers, Johann is visited by Beatrice with a dire warning: Johann must learn from the planet's creatures how to survive the upcoming "double full moon night." If not, they will all be destroyed, leaving forever unanswered the secrets of the universe they have traveled so far--and sacrificed so much--to discover.

From the New York Times bestselling novelist Gentry Lee, author of Bright Messengers and Double Full Moon Night, as well as co-author with Arthur C. Clarke of the Rama series, comes a thrilling new novel of suspense, love, and adventure set against a grand galactic backdrop. Here is the story of a young student, a dangerous love affair, and an explosive conflict to establish control over humanity. The Tranquility Wars For young Hunter Blake, the future is bright indeed. He has been awarded the exclusive Covington Fellowship, named for the totalitarian ruler of the FISC (Federation of Independent Space Colonies), bringing with it fame, a generous stipend, and assured success in his chosen profession. In addition, after years of separation he has been reunited with the one woman he ever loved, the beautiful and enthralling Tehani Wilawa. She has come back into his life, offering her love with one proviso--that he accept her profession as the most beautiful paid escort in the FISC's most famous pleasure palace, Sybaris. But as tension mounts between the FISC and its neighbor and rival, the UDSC (United Democratic Space Colonies), bands of renegade space pirates begin to take advantage of the growing hostilities between the two contending federations--raiding, looting, kidnapping, and building their ranks from the disaffected of both space powers.And when Hunter and Tehani are kidnapped by a pirate band, the aptly named Utopians, they find themselves forced to choose between the enticing ideals of their captors and the rigid conformity and shallow satisfactions of life in the FISC. They suddenly find themselves questioning "truths" they've accepted all their lives. Are these space pirates really the avatars of a new freedom, as they claim--or simply criminals? To answer, Hunter and Tehani must quickly learn the razor-thin difference between freedom and anarchy, obedience and slavery, pleasure and indulgence. But of even greater consequence, Hunter finds his reputation unexpectedly compromised when he becomes an outlaw in his old world as a result of his activities with the space pirates. Separated from Tehani by his own acts of revolution, Hunter faces a countdown with destiny itself as events spiral toward a crucial climax that will explode in the Tranquility Wars.
