Synopsis: In the far reaches of civilized space, an immense blue forest called the Indigo Wild is being logged for its extraordinary wood and the strange force-field it emits. In charge of this lumber enterprise is logger Paul Banyan, whose tree-chopping feats some fear will leave the planet bare. Now a deranged scientist who call himself Johnny Rainforest is leading a ferocious army from this deep blue wild to defend his beloved trees. But will the destruction of Paul Banyan save the forest .... or annihilate the planet? (from the back cover of the Ace Books first edition)
