Summary:
When the population of the colony world Avalon is threatened by a monster right out of hell, there is only one man who can kill the beast and save the colonists. But his plan to wipe out the grendels has unexpected and disastrous consequences.
There's nothing like a mix of science fiction, scary monsters, and population biology to make for a great story, and this one is highly recommended.
