Book Description:
The Company had a big problem--it was illegally exploiting a fabulously rich planet named Prism, a world where even the tiniest creatures were living jewels.
But, somehow, all contact had been lost with the scientists of the survey team. The Company didn't want to draw attention to itself by sending a rescue mission, so they assigned Evan Orgell, a self-confident problem-solver, to investigate.
Evan was good, but he didn't understand Prism. Worse, he couldn't solve the real mystery of the mission...until it was too late.

I loved this book.. an easy read and great story. While not hard core sci-fi, I thought it was an interesting concept (ala Gulliver's Travels done as sci fi). If you're looking for a fast, entertaining book that has nice character development.. this is for you.

If you like Alan Dean Foster, you will love this book. It's an upbeat story that keeps you turning the pages to the end!
This is a novel from the author's Humanx Commonwealth series.
An agent from a major corporation is sent to a new world to troubleshoot problems, when an advance team suddenly stops communicating with headquarters. Once he arrives and finds all but one of the team dead, he has to solve two problems quickly: how to find the one remaining team member, and what to do when his protective suit dies, leaving him stranded on a dangerous world with no defenses!
Several fun twists and turns, and one of his better books, once it gets going.
interesting...one of my favorite Foster books. a delightful read!!
