A Rocheworld Novel

Marooned on Eden is the third 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 Rescued From Paradise.

In Marooned on Eden, the human explorers of the Barnard Star System, along with their jelly-blob alien friends, the "flouwen," explore the moons of the gas-giant planet, Gargantua. They find an Earth-like moon and use their rocket landers to explore it further. The rocket crashes and they find themselves marooned for the rest of their lives on a veritable Eden.
