This is the third of four books in the Cahokia series. I have now read them all, but accidently read the last two out of order. As in most series novels, they can all be read alone...each has a separate adventure--only the setting and some of the characters continue. I have enjoyed all of the books by these authors. This one was more steeped in superstition (religion to them) than the others, but I love this kind of thing. I also love the characters and character interaction and in these books, setting is practically another character.
I have now begun a book of short stories by Henry Melton. Though they are short stories, they are about the same subject--his Project Saga which started with Star Time. This book is set maybe several hundred years after the apocalypse caused by Betelgeuse going nova. Since that time, Earth has evolved into several kingdoms which developed a world court. They are now terraforming several asteroids which they have moved into Earth orbit as habitats for a growing population. At it's beginning, the world court is meeting at a space station orbiting the Earth. Two of their children are exploring and are in the observation arm when that arm suddenly breaks off and begins to drift away.
