The Legacy of Heorot

Great world-building about colonists inhabiting a seemingly benign planet and starting to raise crops, bear children, and introduce Earth species when something happens to one of the dogs…. Overall the book felt dated with its multiracial group of male scientists and women as scientists-breeders. My main problem was how it perpetuates the approach of manifest destiny: humans land on a planet and suddenly it’s our planet to rule, destroying any sentient beings that get in our way.
