When you find a New Earth, you find new ideas. I began this book on Monday October 19, 2020. I competed it on Monday March 15 2021. It had 360 pages. It was published in 2000.
"From the moment they left Earth's gravity well, The Belle Terre colonist had bristled with fierce independence. They made their own rules, picked their own battles, all but spat upon Starfleets offers of help and personal--even when that help would have saved them from numerous disasters that had plagued the expedition practically from the word go."

L. A. Graph p. 4
Uhura was having fatigue transmitting the same message over and over again in search for Sulu and not getting a response when the planets Cheif Technical Officer Neil Bartel handed her the planets verion of coffee. He did that every day at this hour to keep her company.
"The disadvantage of chatting with fellow technical specialists was their clear eyed-grasp of the crux of a problem. She knew exactly how to extrapolate refractorance angles to all parts of the subcontinent once she had a minimum set of values, and she'd even figued out how to correct the system for the daily meteorological variation of the boundary layer. But she still had no answer for the fundemental question of why Sulu had never, not even once, heard any of her experimental hails."

"Starfleet has taught him (Chekov) not to tangle up his concentration with things outside of his control."
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 19
Chekov, Reddy and Pettel, two pilots from the planet had just crashed landed in a dust storm, but into water.
"Every new world is a new chance to learn."
Uhura

L. A. Graph p. 22
"When you were someplace no human had gone before you couldn't help but learn something...and you couldn't ever consider an instant of your life wasted, even if you were repeating the same six words over and over again for eight hours a day."
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph pp. 22-23
"The bridge crew of the Enterprise had weathered enough emergency situations to avoid wasting time with unnecessary words."
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 27
"Belle Terre was so far away from other star systems that it was officially an orpan star system."
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph pp. 35-36
"People who had accepted death as an option weren't as concerned with their own safety."
Chekov
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 38
"Time always attenuated for him under stress. Minutes stretched to the breaking point, and everything from fumbling with a suit to small talk devoured precious seconds. He'd figured out some years ago that this initial time dissonance was his own perception, not reality. And he tried hard not to barette his teammates for failing to feel it too."
Chekov
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 39
Plottels suit was leaking water in, Chekov said if it was necessary he could buddy with someone so he should remain calm.
Chekov arose from the ocean, was at arms with a gunman, even though he said he was from the Enterprise, the gunman wouldn't back away. Chekov could have killed him.
"Any chance of the cargo shuttle landing with it's crew alive is enough to justify a rescue mission."

"Crawford's Law of Subspace Resonance says that transperiodic elements in a crystal lattice can amplify an electromagnetic signal when the subspace emission frequency equals wavelengths times sounders constant."
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 68
They found a missing shuttle. They never found the shuttle they were searching for. Uhura was talking with an orbital shuttle in need of supplies, and she would send them.
"Take advantage of any opportunity that might help carry out a mission."
James T. Kirk

L. A. Graph p. 77
Chekov found Plottel dead and then Baldwin found him. Chekov was looking for weapons on Plottel.
"But we were on the shoulder of our last frequency band and barely making contact. More might have been smeared out by refractive variablity."
Uhura
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 89-90
The Carsons were a group bullying the people on Belle Terre
"Only a few frequencies should match all the possible chrystal refraction angles. Those are the ones that will show an increase in signal strength over distance. So only the places the frequencies happen to refract to are going to see any kind of signal."
Uhura
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 120
"Bad enough one agonized over the realization on the details over the situation forcing everyone else to accept just how bad things were wouldn't bring them any closer to getting out of it."
Chekov
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 128
Chekov left Plottel and Baldwin to search for help.
Uhura and Sulu were with Weir and the other scientists. They got in a shoot out with someone who had no knowledge of the floodings that they were their to save the peolpe from.
"The more open space there is underground, the weaker the rim will get. Eventually, it won't be able to withstand the lakes water pressure anymore, and the whole side of the crator will fall."
Andy Weir

L. A. Graph p. 153
The medoc who assisted Chekov served upon The John Glenn.
"The willingness to take on risk, isn't the same as preparedness."
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 154
Uhura and Weir were caught out in an acid rain storm. Then someone started shooting at them. Uhura realized she'd been captured by the Carson's.
The colonists had clones of dogs.
"Sure things are harder than we hoped for when we set out, but it's also a kind of blank slate, just waiting for us to write a new future on her."
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 194
Sulu was awakened by the licks of dogs on his face.
"He stopped Thee in the front room, before he could follow him back out into the Sun. Stay in here, like Hell, she jerked away from him when he moved away to take hold of her elbow. "I'm not letting you leave me in here." He gritted his teeth against a frustrated sigh, but backed away with his hands making no attempt to restrain her. Gwen, I'm not going to leave you. But I can't promise that I can protect you and myself at the same time. Then let me take care of myself. Fear and grief brightened her eyes to feverish spots in the houses darkness. "Starfleet taught me how to defend myself." But against these kinds of aweful weapons? he wondered acutely aware of the heavy rifle in his hands. Against these kinds of people who just slaughtered defenseless animals just to prove they were able?"

"Security's entire reason for existance was to protect fellow officers from harm, emotional as well as physical."
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph pp. 208-209
"Independent doesn't mean abandoned."
Chekov
Star Trek: New Earth

Chekov and Thee found a comm system
Uhura was captured. She awoke in the dark. In her cell was a comm device. Uhura was talking to Brittney Linvalle, desert specialist, Belle Terre Chapter of The New Rachel Carson Society.
Chekov was found by Sulu. Uhura made contact with Bartels.
"I understand a little better than I used to how easily barbarianism can sneak up on you when you feel like you've lost all other options."
Chekov
Star Trek: New Earth
L. A. Graph p. 281
Sulu and Chekov are stuck in the cockpit of the Bean with Thee. Peacekeepers were about to discover them. Chekov and Bartels were struggling to stay alive in an oblivion storm.
A Klaud ship was spotted approaching Launo Verdi.
