Star Colony — Keith Laumer

Coming in fast and low, the huge ship made planet fall. Three years out from Terra, the colony ship Omega had reached her destination, and the crew began to off-load the cargo and passengers.

Then the ship vanished.

Against the vast panorama of an unexplored universe, science fiction master Keith Laumer sets this first volume of the history of the world called Colmar -- mankind's first venture among the stars.
