Child of Earth by David Gerrold
Book one of the Sea of Grass trilogy. Want to visit another world? It might not be as easy as you think. When Kaer's extended family signs up to emigrate to Linnea, a planet known for horses as large as houses and dangerously mistrustful natives, Kaer is certain the move will bring the divided household closer together. What none of them are prepared for is the grueling emigration training in the Linnean dome, a makeshift environment designed to be like Linnea in every possible way, from the long, brutally harsh winters to the deadly kacks -- wolf-like creatures as tall as men.The training is tough, but Kaer's family is up to the challenge. Soon they begin working like Linneans, thinking like Linneans, even accepting Linnean gods as their own. The family's emigration seems to be just around the corner. But then, a disaster on Linnea itself changes everything.David Gerrold is the author of hundreds of novels, including Jumping Off the Planet, Bouncing Off the Moon, The Man Who Folded Himself, When Harlie was One, and the wildly famous The Battle Against the Chtorr series. He wrote the highly acclaimed The Trouble with Tribbles episode for the original Star Trek television series and is also a prolific screenwriter and novelist. Gerrold and his son live in Northridge, California.
