Synopsis

Lost, Friendless, and Outgunned. Young Beverly di Mendoza knew something was up when her father cut short their Terran layover and changed their route to pass through Barigost, a planet she had never heard of. But she did not expect events to lead to murder and betrayal. "One Survivor" is set in a richly textured future, amid the picturesque flotsam of the Terran Empire, now four centuries gone. Robert Plamondon is a writer, farmer, and engineer. He lives in Oregon.
