Premise: Love midst danger can be found anywhere in the universe. I began this novel about two years ago. I have completed about two-thirds of it. It is about a man, John Smith, a widower who found an empress who won him in a murder trial. It is better to start at the beginning, but if you have read up to here and have not reviewed the chapters,feel free to jump in.

This is a short story of almost 5000 words I am posting in two parts. I wrote it in 1994 and only recently corrected some of the grammar.

Summary:

I have been planning of this as a novel for several years and am returning to it in hopes I can make it work as a novel. The premise is: A thousand colonists have landed on a planet populated by what they think are animals but actually are sientient and intelligent beings, somewhat resembling squirrels, who are telepathic. They have found out that some will return to earth to report their find. This is not accepted by the planetary inhabitants. I am submitting this as a short story until I decide what to do with it.
