Echelon's End E Robert Dunn

The Pioneer Pod 4 is spaceborne, once again plunging into uncharted Space. The crew had come to terms with a way of life where the unexpected had become the norm, where no experience, however bizarre, could be ruled out. After weeks of uneventful flight, the Aidennians voyage is interrupted as Pod 4 is abducted while en route back home, to the remnants of The System by the slipstreams of a gravity well. Powerful gravitational force draws the Pioneer 4 off its preordained course and the Aidennians find themselves in orbit around a world that is peaceful, lush a near paradise; it has all the markings of a bio-experimental laboratory. Another Saarien podship and one of its crew are discovered. ... Eden turns to terror when an alien eugenics project is unveiled.
