Coyote by Allen M Steele
Coyote is an astonishing discovery, a habitable moon in a solar system 40-odd light years from Earth. A despotic post-US government decides to colonise this precious find and constructs the starship Alabama. The ship is about to launch when it is hijacked by its own crew. Instead of the intended party loyalists it is populated with malcontents and social dissidents who must learn to work together in the struggle to reach and then conquer their prize: Coyote. Vast in scope, passionate in its conviction, and set against a backdrop of completely plausible events, Coyote tells the story of Earth's first extra-solar colonists, and the mysterious planet that becomes their home.
An homage to wonder, hope and determinism Stephen Baxter Allen Steele is always good, and Coyote is one of his very best Kevin JAnderson The discovery of a new world is one of SF's most potent themes, and Steele handles it well Publishers Weekly Heinlein would approve Locus
