Delyafam is our world! And these "human" strangers had best move warily here! I am the Kimassu Lady; my duty is to restore equity. "Madame Judge-and-jury," Neill, the dead Terren walking, calls me. "Grem; policechief." Words. Terre words. Though I have learned their language, I cannot understand them. So many their "technology"; their "war"; their males unnaturally the rulers; their lack of all female virtues, especially honor. Neill claims we are outgunned, outmanned, and outscienced. Worse, my ethical, fiercely conservative people are contemptuous of dangers they cannot understand and will not see; dare I defy...yet I must somehow drive these "guests" who-would-be-conquerors from our blue seas. I restore equity. There—must—be—a—way......a moving fascinating tale of two opposed alien cultures.
