Such a refreshing and unique Science Fiction read. Instead of continuous space battles and empire worlds this is a story of a small human colony escaping the travails of Earth and trying to peacefully live an adapt to a truly alien world environment; the world named PAX for peace. The imaginative alien environment with its unique flora and fauna and where plants, especially one species, are highly intelligent is riveting. The characters are well developed and the way the story is broken into generational time periods where characters from earlier generations grow old and die making way for younger characters keeps the story flowing. The story has heart and is filled with triumphs and tragedies. Also contained in the story is the mystery of another alien race that built a beautiful city on the planet but then abandoned it and appear to have disappeared long ago. Over the generations the growing communication and cooperation between the human colony and plant intelligence is delightful. One of the best Science Fiction stories this reader has come across.
