Review Summaries
"Ryozenzuzex is a Thranx(an insectoid species) who feels there is more to life than just the job he'd chosen to do--farm the lush forests outside Pascex, his home town. He isn't quite certain what he's searching for...until he hears of a strange new bipedal species, and goes on a search for them, abandoning his duties at Pascex by faking a trip to the homeworld. "
Tina Loflin, Resident Aland Dean Foster Scholar
"How an alien meets humans and learns to talk to them and gets the two races to become allies. How different the two races are, but shows how they can get along together and learn from each other."
