Lear's Daughters
M. Bradley Kellogg, William Rossow
A group of Terran scientists plus a mining expert representing the funding behind the expedition land on a planet with a seemingly primitive population and bizarre weather. Freak storms strand the Terrans for far longer than planned, and as tensions rise among them and some build close ties with the locals, they begin to discover that there is far more to the "simple natives" and the weather than they could have ever imagined.
