Pioneers
Author: Phillip Mann
 
Ape-like and with one arm replaced by a claw, the not-quite human Angelo and his beautiful female partner Ariadne are genetically bred rescuers programmed to travel vast distances through space in suspended animation to bring back Pioneers - explorers sent out from Earth generations ago to settle other planets. Their latest mission is to rescue Pioneer Murray from the planet La Plage and to return to Earth where - as usual - decades will have passed while they have been travelling the stars.
But Earth itself has gone through a catastrophic collapse from which its burnt-out civilisation is trying to recover. And amongst the remnants of a sterile and despairing humanity, there is less room than ever before for such strange creatures as Angelo.
