| Abstract: | The homeworld of a polypoidal civilization is being invaded by a religious mission.
Threatened to loose their freedom an almost futile battle of self defense starta.
And they get help from unexpected new friends... Among these friends is Sam, a novice in the mission, a pond with fish, frogs and all, a sentient starship and the galaxy itself... |
| Quotation: | One day May found him staring out the window into space. It didn't take
a Neanderthal's sensitivity to other creatures' moods to understand what transfixed him. "Many of the experienced crew find it awe-inspiring, you know," she told him. "And they have made hundreds of journeys in this ship, and seen hundreds of worlds. I can sense their awe. Sometimes it is so strong that I even regret my own inability to share it." |
