    About this ebook

    The colonists name the planet Arbor as they begin to establish a colony because of its extensive forestation. Colonies first and only priority are to establish independent worlds where humanity can survive and someday send out colonies of its own. But they soon learn there is something in the forest that is watching them and has plans of its own. There will be no rescue. The colonists must try to make their best efforts to preserve the human colony, but will that be enough, or is preserving this colony putting more at risk than their lives.

    Arbor Colony is a fast passed science fiction story where colonists on an alien planet are forced to face a life form that is asking the same question that humanity has asked and answered. Who has the right to survive? Not everyone has the same answer and the conflict is not just between the humans and the aliens in the forest, but also between humans that come to view this question differently.

    Ultimately, the answer to this question of survival will spread beyond the confines of the planet and have repercussions across space.

    Roy Hayward

    Roy Hayward loves to read. He spent much of his years growing up holed up in well lit corners of libraries reading all of the fiction that he could find. There were many times that one librarian or another would recommend a book, and Roy would have already read it. As a result he decided that he would be a writer at a young age.Roy graduated from high school in Fairfield, Iowa. He served two years as a missionary in Seoul Korea. He attended college at Rick College in Rexburg, Idaho, and then the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. Started out studying Chemistry, but switched majors to Political Science.After college, he got a job and discovered that he was more interested in the computers he used than the job he used them to do. A year after college he was working doing tech support for a printer company. He bounced from job to job working his way up in skills and position. He is now a programmer managing a team of Web Developers.In Rexburg, he met his wife Beth. After stealing her away from his roommate, they were married in the Idaho Falls Temple and began their life-long adventure. They had seven children of their own and then became foster parents. As of this writing they have adopted five children from foster care and are still fostering children.Through all of these adventures, Roy has continued to read, and to write. And to share his love of good books with others; his friends, his family, and random people on the internet.
