Zoar and Geneva

Earth is ancient history to the Renovamen of Zoar. Following a civil war, they take their first steps beyond the star system that has been their home for a thousand years, and discover another planet capable of sustaining life. They name it Geneva after the old Earth city that once symbolized peace. Despite such hopes, Erikson, the first research vessel the Renovamen send to investigate Geneva up close, is destroyed in orbit.The sole survivor, Fred Cooper, is marooned on the surface where he discovers that the Renovamen's ancestors were not the only ones to escape Earth's demise. When he is rescued by primitive locals, he finds himself a piece in a feud between tribal leaders and must rely on the healer Shar'hre for more than just the wounds he sustained in the crash.While Fred navigates a new world and culture, the Joint Renovamen Exploratory Fleet sends Captain James Clayton of the JREF ship Trafalgar and Major Brooklyn Kobayashi of the JREF Marine Corps to investigate the planet and the destruction of the Erikson. But not all is peaceful aboard Trafalgar and Kobayashi and Clayton must first combat tension and suspicion if they are to arrive at Geneva at all.
