Science
fiction novel.
Series: Sturch.
Expansion of the novella "The
Lovers".
DEDICATION: "To Sam Mines, who saw deeper than the others." (Del Rey,
1979)
COVER TEXT:
Escaping the
religious tyranny of a 31st-century Earth by a fluke assignment to the
planet Ozagen, linguist Hal Yarrow found that the worst of Earth had
followed him - Pornsen, his personal Guardian Angel, vigilant for any
evidence of sin or wrong thinking.
Conditioned by a lifetime of submission, Yarrow would have accepted
Pornsen's constant spying as an unpleasant necessity and lost himself
in the study of the language of Ozagen's intelligent dominant race, the
Wogglebugs... but then, hidden in ancient ruins built by humanoids long
vanished from the planet, he found Jeanette, a not-quite-human fugitive.
For a Believer like Yarrow, unconsecrated contact with any female was
forbidden - and love for an alien was unthinkable. But to Yarrow, in
every way that counted, Jeanette was warmly and bountifully human.
So Yarrow sought the aid of the amiably tolerant Wogglebugs to keep his
harboring of Jeanette a secret - and at the same time concealed from
his alien allies Earth's farreaching plans for them and their
unexploited planet.
Yet there was one secret Yarrow did not know and could not imagine...
the very special nature and needs of the woman he loved!
