Coming Summer 2013 from
Hugo and Nebula award winner Mike Resnick:
The
best way to learn about an alien species is not only to live among
them, but to become them in both physical form and function, but could a
human really learn to think like an alien, and at what cost to his
humanity?
Journalist
and adventurer Xavier William Lennox becomes obsessed with the rituals
of the Fireflies, an alien culture of gold-skinned inhabitants living on
the planet Medina. When he gets too close to their mysterious society,
he's captured, tortured, and banished for his curiosity, but vows to
learn what it is that the aliens are so desperate to hide, even if it
means becoming one of them.
But
his curiosity doesn't end with the Fireflies. As opportunities arise to
study more alien races, Lennox undergoes a series of cosmetic surgeries
so that he can blend in with their cultures. But each time his humanity
is stretched until he faces his biggest challenge—trying to return to
the ordinary life of a man who has experienced the universe in ways he
was never meant to.
