Landfall and Discovery M L Humphrey

Landfall Deep in the past a survey ship visits the last planet of a twelve planet mission; the third planet of a lone yellow star system on the outer arm of their spiral galaxy. But the ship is badly damaged during landing as a massive volcano unexpectedly erupts beneath the ship. The rescue ship arrives bearing repair parts and an edict that all personnel are to return home immediately. Intrigue and suspicions are kindled when the ships engineers discover a plot to sabotage the ship. The captain has to make a hard decision to safeguard those he cares about. Discovery Daniel Cleary is a young man about to realize his dreams when everything suddenly goes wrong. Uncle Jake passes away, his girlfriend dumps him, and he loses his job. He then learns he is the sole beneficiary of his Uncles estate but is required to move into and maintain those properties in the small city of Durango, Colorado; a long way from his home town in Ohio. Couldn't be all bad, he thinks; he already knows one person in town, a waitress by the name of Ann Lyndes. More bad news, Ann thinks there's a conspiracy surrounding not only Jake's death, but that of Jake's parents as well. And well she might, her father disappeared, and her mother was found murdered when she was only five. Fearing for their lives these two kindred souls come together when they find out the terrible secret of what is really hidden in the mine.
