Monument by Lloyd Biggle Jr.

5.0

This is an excellent book about a man wandering the galaxy who comes across a lost colony world on a tropical paradise planet. Realising that it can't be long before the planet is rediscovered by the rest of humanity, and the negative affects this will almost certainly have on the planets inhabitants, he comes up with a scheme to deal with the situation. The book is the story of that scheme playing out.
