About This Book

An Earth investigator on an alien world is betrayed and targeted by a corporate manager who exploits local ritual and law to eliminate suspected spies. Left near a predatory forest, the investigator is discovered by a long-lived native intelligence called a Zark, which reanimates a dead monstrous creature to protect him. The narrative follows the unfolding misunderstandings between human vulnerability, native customs, and the Zark's earnest but baffled attempts to help, contrasting bureaucratic ruthlessness and ritualized violence with an alien compassion that struggles to grasp forces beyond its experience.
