Novjaro

Tane only wanted space to breathe. Tane joins the Navjaro colony to get out of the overcrowded Sol system. This is a chance to put his past behind him and have a new start. Unfortunately, one painful part of his past is on the colony ship, too. Now Tane's future is as damaged as the ship they're on. Tane is saddled with the blame. Already disliked by many of the colonists, Tane wonders if things can get worse.
As it turns out, yes, they can. But not just for Tane, who soon finds him in the middle of everything and everywhere. More than just the colony depends on what Tane does next. But it requires him to do something he's never done before. Can he do it? Or is the colony doomed to fail? In the tradition of Andre Norton's Catseye, Philip Wylie & Edwin Balmer's When World's Collide , and Elizabeth Moon's Remnant Population, Novjaro is an adventure into human possibilities and resilience.
