A luminous tale of science fiction, moral fable, and bizarre love story.

Reviews
"This lyrical allegory raises basic questions about interspecies communication and cooperation, whether murder is ever justified, and how to heal our ruptured relationship with the earth."
Publishers Weekly

"Here, via the power of good sound and indelible images, high-flying fancy, serious introspection, and canny analysis of today's errant society, D. H. Melhem obliges us to consider some unpleasant facts about ourselves and our direction."
Gwendolyn Brooks
