Review Summary
This is the sequel to Freedom's Landing. Now that they have had a chance to explore, it seems that this planet is not empty. It seems that another race has set up shop, but everything is automated. If they can find out a way to contact this race, then maybe they can help them escape.
Ed Phillips, Resident Scholar
