Reading the Bones

Sheila Finch

A dissolute linguist, a cosseted debutante and a strangely silent child are running for their lives – trapped in the violent confluence of three species, only one of which is human. The Xenolinguist story series are fast-paced, gripping explorations of cross-cultural communication, as well as perennial fan favorites. The Nebula award-winning novella Reading the Bones has now been expanded to novel length, following xenolinguist Ries Danyo, and sisters Lita and Jilan Patel to their pivotal role in shaping the future of the Frehti.
