Rescued From Paradise

Rescued From Paradise is the fourth of four sequels to the science fiction novel Rocheworld by Robert L. Forward (Baen Books, New York, 1990). The other sequels are: Return to Rocheworld, Ocean Under the Ice and Marooned on Eden.

In Rescued From Paradise, the children of the human explorers marooned decades ago on the Earth-like moon, "Eden," in the Barnard Star System, have to decide whether to stay on their idyllic birthplace with the friendly jelly-blob "flouwen" and the slow-moving tree-like "jollys", or to return to compete in the fast-paced combined human/robot civilization of the Solar System.
