The Golden Aquarians
Walt is forced to leave his home in Medicine Hat and join his fearsome father on the faraway planet of Aqua, which his father's engineers are transforming into a place to grow oilbush. As the marsh is drained, Walt becomes aware of an intelligent species living on Aqua, whose life will be forever destroyed. Walt must stop his father's work, but he knows his father will never listen. He struggles with his fears and doubts, and the Aquarians themselves take a hand in shaping events in a cataclysmic way.
