Received as UC in text format from unknown source.

v0.9 tidied, formatted, removed carriage returns, mostly spellchecked etc. Got sick of waiting for the
treeware from my library to fix up headings, italics and other unknown characters etc. so I released this
version.

starship Alabama is hijacked-by her captain and crew.

In defiance of the repressive government of the United Republic of Earth, they replace her handpicked
passengers with political dissidents and their families. These become EarthтАЩs first pioneers in the
exploration of spaceтАж

Captain R. Lee, their leader. Colonel Gill Reese, the soldier sent to stop Lee. Les Gillis, the senior
communications officer, a victim of a mistake that will threaten the entire mission. Crewman Eric Gunther,
who has his own agenda for being M aboard. His daughter, Wendy, a teenager who will grow up too
quickly. Jorge and Rita Montero, ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances. And their
son Carlos, who wijh hero in spite of himself.

After almost two-and-a-half centuries in cold sleep, they will awaken above their destination: a habitable
world named Coyote, A planet that will test their strength, their beliefs, and their very humanityтАж

In Coyote, Allen Steele delivers a grand novel of galactic adventure-a tale of life on the newest of
frontiers.
