Synopsis

When a habitable planet is discovered orbiting a nearby star, Earth's three rival power blocs each send expeditions to claim it. The world they find, Jem, is home to three distinct intelligent species, and the human colonists quickly entangle these alien societies in their own political conflicts. A caustic and darkly comic exploration of imperialism, Cold War politics, and first contact gone wrong.
