Description

Stephen Leigh (au). In the tradition of Ursula Le Guin comes a startling & thought-provoking novel of gender, society -- & survival. A cent. ago a small group of humans was marooned on a distant planet. Now their descendants struggle with rising infertility, mortality & mutation, for which no cause -- or cure -- can be found. Then comes a startling revelation: The preserved corpse of a member of the planet’s long-extinct native race bears deformities nearly identical to those of Anais, the settlement’s doctor. Anais must discover the link between the mysteries of the planet’s past & the plight of the present-day humans, before she is exiled forever -- thwarting her society’s last chance for survival. Intelligent & compassionate, this novel raises a host of interesting questions.
