NOMINATED FOR THE ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD
Escaping conflict on Earth, an idealistic group of settlers arrive on a distant planet – Pax – with plans for a perfect society.
The world they discover is rich with life, but this is not the Eden they were hoping for. The plants on Pax are smart – smart enough to domesticate, and even slaughter, its many extraordinary animals.
To survive, the colonists realize that they must strike bargains of their own. But if they are to make Pax their home, they must go further, searching for a way to communicate and coexist with these utterly alien intelligences.

An interesting take on a classic sci-fi theme: life on another planet! The book sidesteps typical action/adventure tropes, opting instead for a creative meditation on sentience, leadership, and civilization. I liked that the author didn’t sacrifice plot or narrative flow to convey deeper concepts. It had unique editing and pacing, which I wasn’t always 100% convinced by, but overall it was a great read!
