The Ferro-Erotic Roaches of Kiki

Sharpen your beaks, prickle your barbs, color your ears. My Kiki, my brothers, we must guard our broods...

The Kiki dwell contentedly in their hive until the odd roundy beasts plummet to the surface.
Chantelle and James, marooned on an alien world of banded stone and gaping chasms, take refuge in the warrens of the roach-like denizens of the planet. They find a peaceful, if uneasy, co-existence.
Until the baby arrives.
And they call again for help.
And Chantelle must choose: her baby or her life...
