About This Book

A traveling catalogue salesman, Herl Hofner, lands on an isolated planet called Delight to trade and encounters tedious bureaucracy, odd local customs, and hints of past genetic mutation that changed parts of the population; while sorting permits and speaking with port official Saem Berry, he is suddenly overtaken by living waves of green and blue that materialize as a compelling female presence, washing through him and imparting a sudden clarity about a plan he had been considering. The piece mixes pulpy spacefaring routine and bureaucratic satire with an uncanny, transformative encounter that blurs the line between sensual enchantment and revelation.
