	Remnant Population	comment	Ofelia is tired: tired of being told how to act and what to do, tired of living with her son that doesn't listen and her snippy daughter-in-law, tired of people. They all live and work as employees in the Sims Bancorp colony #3245.12, until the tide of business fortunes turns out of Sims' favor. They've lost the charter for the colony and are making everyone ship out to space in cryo-sleep to start over again.For Ofelia this is a golden opportunity. When the time comes, she gives everyone the slip, staying behind on the colony, intending to live out the rest of her life in peaceful solitude with her house and her garden and the comforts offered by all the colonists had to leave behind.The peace is broken by the arrival of another colony ship - thousands of miles away, but heard by Ofelia on the old communication equipment - as they try to land and are massacred by a gang of angry aliens that no one knew existed on the planet before.The natives - The People - are reminded of another event, years ago, where machines were seen making scars across the sky in a place far away from their home nests; could there be more of these invading monsters here? A party of them set off to investigate...As a result, Ofelia gets caught up in a culture not her own, as she slowly learns that the creatures have not come to kill her but to watch her, and though they first seem much like ignorant children, they have a lot of surprises in store. And in the end, it will be small, insignificant, harmless Ofelia who stands between them and the humans.Remnant Population is a standalone novel by Elizabeth Moon, a decidedly non-Space Opera offering from a writer best known for them. Ofelia and her internal conflicts make up the core of the story, with a side of lampooning the concept behind Star Trek style limits on interacting with alien cultures.Tropes present in this work:
