New Earth: Rough Trails. It is out of the frying pan and into the fire for the colonists of Belle Terre as the Quake Moon situation has been resolved, yet it has left only half of the planet inhabitable, feeling more like Ceti Alpha V than the planet on the cover.

We discuss Chekov, the romance, barbarians at the gate, no big three, a hard life, power and profit, our ratings and final thoughts.
