Return to Earth

By Helen Mary Hoover

Book Overview

Galen Innes returns to his native Earth, far in space and culture from the Marsat habitat he has left, where he hopes to make a choice about his successor as Governor-General. Samara Lloyd is a young woman whose birth into a leading corporate family on Earth is not nearly as magnificent as it might seem. Together, this unlikely duo falls afoul of a cult-like religious figure, the Dolmen, whose consolidation of power includes the murder of Samara's mother, the Director, as well as an attempt on their own lives. Follow Galen and Samara as they escape only to return once again and face down the Dolmen at the very physical and metaphysical seat of his power.

Wonderful story

Galen is the retired Governor of Marsat, an artificial colony. Samara is the daughter of the Director of Continental Lloyd Corporation, one of Earth's largest companies. A chance meeting in Galen's old house propels them into a crucible of political intrique and death as Samara has to become Director when her mother is assasinated. As with all H.M Hoover's works, this is well written, believable and exciting. The relationship between Galen and Samara is touching and sweet, without becoming cloying. The future that Hoover paints is calm but with hints of underlying trouble. I would recommend this book to any fans of H.M Hoover's other works and to anyone who has not encountered her before.

Great short novel

This is a story about a short period of time in a mans life where he needs to find himself again. He returns to his homelands on earth to find everything has changed, and he must save the whole town. Great book. Along the line of Robert A. Heinlein's work. A peice of work, and a must read.
