Synopsis

A world where biology and destiny made women supreme. When Tom Perion woke from stasis in his wildly tumbling space pod, he knew something had gone terribly wrong with the massive colonization mission to the plant Kalea. But not until he was rescued by an all-women crew did he realize that the majority of the original colonists were still orbiting Kalea, locked in perpetual stasis. He quickly learned Kalea was a strange primitive land, where women were rulers and warriors and men the guarded possessions of multiple wives. With his old-Earth ways of thinking, Perion was soon driven into exile. Fleeing with his rescuers to to northern lands, he had to gamble against hope to recover the secret that would awaken the distant sky sleepers and bring the imperiled Kalea salvation from the stars.
