Description
In the heart of the planet Bosk Veld's great forest, an enigmatic alien species known as the Asadi perform their intricate rituals. Their life-style has been studied by Egon Chaney in his groundbreaking work 'Death and Designation Among the Asadi', which revealed a complex technological sophistication that has since degenerated into primal simplicity. Chaney's daughter, Elegy Cather, returns to Bosk Veld to continue her father's research, accompanied by an intelligent ape named Kretzoi. Physically adapted to resemble the aliens, Kretzoi insinuates himself into their rituals, drawing the reader into a captivating portrayal of the alien world. As Elegy and Thomas Benedict unravel the mystery of the Asadi, they uncover secrets that challenge our understanding of this fascinating species.
