A fascinating tale of psychic aliens, stranded settlers, and colonizing insects.

The setting is the main attraction here, the characters supporting the introduction of this world where none of the natives speak because they don't need to. Through a series of steps and missteps, the survey crew sent to Chara have to survive first contact with not one, but two, alien races. It turns out to be more difficult than anyone might have imagined.

Recommended.

@nlowell@books.theunseen.city First of all, thank you for the kind review! I am brand new on here and trying to figure it all out. Can you tell me how you got my book on here? I've been trying to get my second in the series onto my author page and bookwyrm can't find it.
