About This Book

A Space Corps zoologist undertakes a first-contact field mission on a lush alien planet by electronically linking his mind into recorded native organisms. He inhabits an insect-like body and adapts to chitinous limbs, delicate wings and unfamiliar sensory limits while observing feeding, predator avoidance and ecological behavior from inside the creature. The story details the technical procedures, safety measures and strict time constraints of neural Contact, and traces the practical and psychological hazards that arise when human consciousness operates within an alien physiology and environment.
