Grumpy hermit Paden Bell immigrates to a new planet to build a new life. Learn about him, the new world, and the fascinating people in his caravan through the letters he writes to his wife, Marda, who will follow him once the settlement is established. Planetfall For Marda is a touching story of love, discovery and danger set on the pioneer frontier of a new and breathtaking world. Paden Bell is an acerbic, curmudgeonly, and darkly humorous guide on this journey.
