On the planet Scythia, lizards hatch from insects, trees have teeth, and the mysterious basketmen have approached the fractured human colony.
Doctor John Maraintha has been stranded here.
He will never see his home again. He must build the best life he can.
But on Scythia, survival means transformation— and not everyone is willing to change.
Cameron Reed is a science fiction writer and the winner of the 1998 Otherwise Award. Both she and the award had different names in 1998, but as part of a latein-life gender transition she chose a new one, which is an anagram of “remade crone.” She is an avid dragonfly-watcher, a moderately skilled insect photographer, and a hopeless birder. She lives with her found family in an old house full of books and cats.
