Land And Overland




The trilogy consists of the books ''The Ragged Astronauts'' (published 1986), ''The Wooden Spaceships'' (1988) and ''The Fugitive Worlds'' (1989).

The setting for the trilogy is a pair of planets, Land and '''Overland''', which orbit about a common center of gravity, close enough to each other that they share a common atmosphere. In ''The Ragged Astronauts'', the human population of Land travel to Overland via hot-air balloon to escape airborne creatures called the Ptertha.

In ''The Wooden Spaceships'', conflict breaks out between the new inhabitants of Overland and those who stayed behind.
