The Carronia Series
For over two millennia colony ships left Earth and were seldom heard from again. Now, with faster-than-light travel discovered and the Galactic Union formed, the scattered branches of humanity have been reunited. Most of the hundred rediscovered worlds share the same advanced technology — but a few are found where the colony failed and every trace of technology was lost. These fragile societies are sequestered for their own protection.
Carronia is one of them: a simple agricultural world thrust without warning into a vast and complicated galaxy. Teo Silva is the Galactic Union enforcement officer sent to keep the peace — and, alongside his canine partner, to stand between Carronia and the forces that would exploit it.
