The loafers of Refuge

[2010-12-01] Battery on my Palm died and took my notes with it. A study of the settlement of a pastoral world, and the interaction between settlers from Earth and the humanoid natives. The natives are low tech, but have psi powers -- which can be taught to humans who are willing to take the trouble to learn. It's an interesting and mostly thoughtful read, but has some strange blind spots.
