Description
From Earth to Krishna...
from here to not-here...
from evolution to extinction and back...
A dissolute linguist, a cosseted debutante and a strangely silent child are running for their lives, trapped by the violent confluence of three alien races: Frehti, Human and Venatixi. And at the heart of this complex mystery of language and culture, biology and revolution, only profound sacrifice can ensure survival.
Reading the Bones is the Xenolinguist tale that earned author Sheila Finch a Nebula Award, the top honor in science fiction literature. Ms. Finch has kindly offered to our Queen of the May auction this Nebula-Award winning novella, now expanded to a full-length novel. This edition of Reading the Bones is in trade paperback format, and it has been autographed by the author.
