Successor to the popular Alpha Centauri trilogy, Kakuloa: A Rising Tide launches the Kakuloa series, set in Alastair Mayer's T-Space, when interstellar travel is just starting to become commonplace, some decades before The Chara Talisman.
Kakuloa, one of Alpha Centauri's planets and the only place that squidberries, source of a potential anti-aging drug, will grow, is about to see a massive economic boom...but only if Dr. Ellie Greystone, marine biologist, can figure out how to keep marauding tree squids out of the crops without disrupting the ecology that makes the berries possible. Meanwhile, since the area where the berries grow best reminds everyone of Hawaii, at least one developer thinks it's an ideal place to build a luxury vacation resort. William Blake, acting planetary administrator, has mixed feelings about that. Kakuloa is co-governed by Sawyer's World and Earth's Terran Union, but the massive drug companies' joint venture, Centauri Pharmaceuticals, is paying for most of it. Blake has to try to keep three bosses happy and Kakuloa thriving while dealing with the conflicting demands of the squidberry farmers, resort developers, and exploration ships headed deeper into T-Space.
