Exiled on Unium

Book two of the Unium series, Exiled On Unium, takes up where book one, Pioneers On Unium, leaves off. Greg Vancover, the series lead character, has been found guilty of the forceable rape of Sally Swift, the fort’s nurse. After a failed hanging attempt, the young hunter’s death sentence was reduced to life banishment from Fort America, the name given to their new settlement. If the excommunicated criminal was caught within a day’s march of the young town, he was to be killed on site. Thanks to past service, the towncouncil voted to provide the outcast with a light bark canoe, food, provisions, and weapons. Saying farewell to his closest friends, the exiled earthman paddled downstream through the grassy savanna into the shadowy forest miles away. Continuing his way down the ever-broadiening river, the cautious canoeist made his way to a locality no human had gone before. On his own the isolated vagrant must find a way to safely feed himself, while at the same time protect himself from the savage denizens of the tempestuous forest. What would be his fate. To die from the sharp talons of a hungry predator? Would he live to see Laura and friends again? Or, would fate once again lead the wanderer in a direction he did not see coming?
