A complex blend of ecological sci-fi and political thriller." - Kirkus Reviews

When settlers push a planet to its limits, can two star-crossed eco-engineers save it? Environment, meet hardheaded opposites.

Eons ago, ecological engineers like Caleb and Fee terraformed their world to suit its new settlers. But now the settlers have made too many changes, greed overtaking science, and the planet Arcadia is threatened with environmental collapse. Only the men and women of the Ecological Survey can save it..

"Storms, floods, drought. Don't bother taking your pick," says the planet, "you're going to get the lot."

When the Survey sends tree-loving Fee to help make a lake smack in the middle of Caleb's desert plains, he's less than thrilled. He loves his dusty homeland, as does his family. If they knew what Caleb and Fee were doing, they'd run them out of town. So the two must work in secret, altering entire landscapes before the locals find out and try to stop them. An impossible task, surely, when the only things they have in common are a love for the places they must change and an unwanted mutual chemistry.

But why Fee and Caleb, and what does the Survey truly plan for them?

An exciting mix of science fiction adventure and romance, this is space opera for the environmental age.
