Daughters of an Emerald Dusk

by Katherine V. Forrest

Late in the 22nd century, 4000 women escape the tyranny of a male-dominated Earth and colonise the planet of Maternas. Katherine V. Forrest's influential 1984 novel, Daughters of the Coral Dawn, told the story of this exodus. Her 2002 novel, Daughters of an Amber Moon, told the story of the women left on Earth. Here she brings her trilogy to a close with this story of how the first generation born on Maternas have reached maturity. But their vision of a perfect world is very different from that of the founders of the Maternas colony.
