Although this is a sci-fi adventure, the writing style is more reminiscent of literary fiction. I greatly enjoyed Britton's unique style, and found myself wrapped up in this story before I knew what was happening. I highly recommend reading the introduction, as it will give you a succinct backstory for the characters involved, and how they came to be where the story takes place. The world and character building were superb, and despite the fact that Renbourn is meant to be an alien, he felt like a real person, as did the other characters that populate this book. I enjoyed the twist on what we consider normal - with those who have paired minds vs those who don't. The imagery is vivid, and it's like watching a sci-fi movie unfold around you as you read. This makes me want to explore more of the author's writing in the future. ( ) no reviews | add a review

For twenty years, Dr. Malcolm Renbourn and Tribe Renbourn faced adventure after adventure, struggle after struggle on Beta-Earth. Now, Renbourn and five of his Betan wives are forced to cross the multi-verse once again, this time to the strange world called Cerapin-Earth. After startling and frightening physical transformations, the altered Renbourns meet two new kinds of humanity. One is the dominant pairs who are able to share thoughts and sensations at the same time. The other are the nams, single-bodied people the pairs deem defective mono-minds. As a result, nams are exiled from the overpopulated cities of pyramid hives. Tribe Renbourn must join the outcasts and teach them they are as worthy of love and acceptance as any unkind pair. But helping the nams learn how to stand up for themselves ultimately leads to a catastrophic war. At the same time, Cerapin scientists plan another multi-versal jump that must also end in a costly catastrophe. Along the way, two sexy spies complicate everything. On a world where technology is worshiped like a religion, how can the nam rebels overcome the superior armaments of the pairs using primitive weaponry? While this conflict brews, Tribe Renbourn explores what it means to be human in ways they never expected. Will their epic end like it began, forced to sacrifice themselves to save a doomed city?
