But any writer that can make me see past this. I understand that many readers don't read, or like, science-fiction and won't be able to 'get' my 5-star rating for this book. I hadn't planned on reviewing this, but this is my first (and I think probably my only) 5-star review for this year. If you want to read a far better, more comprehensive review of this masterpiece, please read Pam's excellent review. Her job to update the census brings her in direct contact with the aliens, Sanford and his son, T'aki.Įvery now and then you come across an author who writes extraordinary stories, something so different, so captivating you want to write a review that does the book justice. Sarah Fowler arrives at Cottonwood, Kansas, as a social services liaison officer to the aliens. Herded into internment camps they eke out an existence living off the open landfill and meagre handouts from their hosts. Twenty years the yang'ti have lived in captivity on an alien planet after their spacecraft developed mechanical problems. They crawled over the trash, over the Heaps, picking through the human waste for treasures to put into sacks, into boxes, or even into their own mouths. ![]() There were hundreds of aliens in there, hundreds of them. ![]()
