Seventy
After the alien Hurluk ships invade a human held system, destroying all but one satellite in each, the government orders the refugees to resettle a new planet. One that has just been terraformed.
Jeff Koenig leads his doomed team to the planet, Dauphin, and watches as their only contact with the rest of civilization goes through a wormhole. They have 70 days until the ship returns. But from Day 1 everything goes wrong.
As the days count down the colonists watch the skies and pray that the Hurluk won't find them, or Earth, before they are rescued.
