An inhabited planet is not what an interplanetary mining company hopes to find while in search of rare mineral deposits, but the low-tech natives should be won over by a few 'miracles', right? Emily Nandi, the mining company's legally mandated xenologist, isn't so sure. The planet's social structures are complex, fascinating and frustrating she advocates research and caution rather than the seat-of-the-pants first contact the company president wants.
Investigator Shadow is convinced ghosts are watching him until a fellow investigator disappears, plucked from his harduk's back without a trace. When he reappears at the city gates, naked, half-frozen and ill, he brings back a harrowing tale of strangers on a ship high above the planet.
From this shaky beginning, suspicion and misunderstanding fuel one culture-clash driven disaster after another, punctuated by apocalyptic prophesies from the oracle, Telluris. This is no way to get to know one's long-lost cousins from Earth.
