When post-Earth Humans meet

This book wasn't what I expected, and it consistently defied typical storylines. What happens when the last Humans on Earth catch up with a colony of Humans started centuries before on a distant planet.

Not quite what you'd think, actually. The story was as relaxed as the colony we meet, and yet it drew me along to a fairly satisfying conclusion. Worth reading!
