The Haole Flu killed millions, but the survivors had it worse.  The Hawaiian Islands were isolated, but with incredible natural resources.  Even better, they were a people descended from Polynesian voyagers.

The Ross 248 Project - an anthology of stories about exploring - and terraforming - new worlds.
Ross 248 is explored by a consortium of humans from Earth, from the asteroid colonies, and sentient AIs.  They'll find bare rocks, worlds that look suitable for terrestrial life, but are deadly to humans, a water world that doesn't get enough sunlight, and signs that maybe other life forms had been there first.

My story is a coming-of-age... for a 16 year-old sentient AI being raised by humans on a world that looks so wonderfully Earth-like... and incompatible with  terrestrial life.
