Maybe not as good a read as the previous two books, but by this point, you want to find out what happens to Coyote.

Coyote Frontier was a satisfying conclusion to an enjoyable and cohesive trilogy. I had hoped that the series as a whole would be more on the sciency side of science fiction, but for what it actually was, I have no real complaints.

352 pages Science fiction. Book continues the story of the colonists of the planet Coyote. I enjoyed the story and agreed with the message of limited develpment on a new planet. I did think the ending of the story and it's surprise was a bit forced. None less I want more stories from this world.

Satisfying conclusion to the Coyote Trilogy.
Steele has done a masterful job of world-building with his imagining of Earth's first attempt to colonize a planet outside the home solar system, and turns his lens this time on what might happen to the tough little world if it had to grow up and put on
Technological advances since the original colonizing ship left Earth have broken the FTL barrier, and what had been a remote and struggling society now must cope with becoming a functioning member of a galactic partnership. Their ability to export raw materials to a dying Earth, and to import technologies to solidify their foothold on Coyote bring both practical and ethical challenges. And just to put the cherry on top, Steele harkens back to something planted early in the first novel, which sends things spinning off in an entirely new plane, even as the trilogy's basic story is winding down.

Not as good as the previous books. Still very good. Coyote makes contact with Earth. There is political dealings to reach an agreement. Rebels and we learn more about the Coyote native species.
