Wildeblood's Empire

The colony was successful. That was evident as soon as the recontact ship Daedalus had landed. It was successful, prosperous, and everything was due to the work and genius of J.Wildeblood, biochemist and planetary leader. This world even now bore the name of its benefactor. And it was truly his empire, with a grateful, hard-working people heeding every wish of his descendants. But the suspicious scientific minds of the Daedalus's special crew were very uneasy. Was Wildeblood's Empire all it seemed or was there a structure invisible to the eye which spelled out something a lot more blood-curdling? Once again the talented mind of Brian M. Stableford shapes a world-sized mystery that only solid science could solve. Cover art by Michael Whelan.
