is a new danger on New Earth, and Devon's work is only just
beginning. 1.2 Death in the New Forest by Roland Moore. On his
first mission for Senator Hame, Devon crosses continents to arrive
in the New Forest and meet its people. Trees are dying of unnatural

Cheem, will help Devon investigate the threat to her people. So too
will an alien, an old friend of New Earth... a time traveller known
as the Doctor! 1.3 The Skies of New Earth by Paul Morris. Devon's
work takes him into the skies of New Earth and the great floating
city of New Caelum. Here, a new energy project is exploited by
alien powers, and a terrible catastrophe looms. Helped once again
by the Doctor, Devon calls on the Bird People of Nest City, as well
as the great Solar Bears on their Ice Clouds to stop disaster. But
can the people of the skies put aside their rivalries long enough
to make a difference? 1.4 The Cats of New Cairo by Matt Fitton.
