"Alpha Centauri: Sawyer's World" is the sequel to "Alpha Centauri: First Landing". When the exploration team discovers that the first of two Earth-like planets had been deliberately terraformed millions of years earlier, commander Elizabeth Sawyer takes a volunteer team down to the second planet. The catch is, they have no way to return to space until the other ships have returned to Earth and come back with a refueling system for their lander.As the weeks turn into months, Sawyer and her crew realize that they may be stuck on an alien world for a lot longer than they expected. And alien worlds, however Earth-like, come with their own set of challenges.Inspired by Verne's "The Mysterious Island" and Heinlein's "Tunnel In the Sky", this book is for readers who like their hard science fiction with a generous dose of action and adventure.
