Coyote

Coyote is an astonishing discovery a habitable moon in a solar system 40-odd light years from Earth. A despotic post-US government decides to colonise this precious find and constructs the starship Alabama. The ship is about to launch when it is hijacked by its own crew. Instead of the intended party loyalists it is populated with malcontents and social dissidents who must learn to work together in the struggle to reach and then conquer their prize: Coyote. Vast in scope passionate in its conviction and set against a backdrop of completely plausible events Coyote tells the story of Earths first extra-solar colonists and the mysterious planet that becomes their home.
