Hey guess what! I finally figured out a new title for the story previously known as The Lost Colony! From here on out, that story will be known as The Phoenix of Nova Terra.
That title fits in so many different ways. Humanity is crawling out of the ashes of a near xenocidal war and Nova Terra is their greatest hope; Ian has struggled all his life to cope with the nuclear holocaust of his home world and he finds rebirth at Nova Terra; the aliens who come in WAY later in the story find the fulfilment of their prophecies and the beginning of their return to glory because of Ian’s actions, etc etc.
Many thanks go out to Natascha Faux for helping me to come up with that new title! That definitely deserves a major place in the acknowledgments page. What’s more, it makes me really, really happy.

What a freaking awesome title!
