The novel “Legacy” by Greg Bear was published for the first time in 1996. It’s a prequel to “Eon” and the third novel of the series of the Way.

The Way opens to infinite worlds but the Hexamon decided that some of them are not to be colonized, at least for the moment. A group of radical Naderites, however, has taken advantage of the chaos caused by the fierce war against the aliens Jart to emigrate to Lamarckia. On this planet a unique ecosystem developed, extraordinary from a scientific point of view but potentially lethal to the settlers.
