About this book
Generations ago, humans fled to the cosmic anomaly known as Grass. But before humanity arrived, another species had already claimed Grass for its own. It too had developed a culture...... Now a deadly plague is spreading across the stars, leaving no planet untouched, save for Grass.

Synopsis - Hundreds of years in the future, Earthmen have moved out into the galaxy – but they don’t particularly shine among other races both older and wiser. In fact Earth travellers are second class citizens, able to offer little to the incomprehensibly alien cultures of outer space. Jospeh Farber is an artist living uncomfortably and despondently among the alien Cian – though moved by their strange and powerful rituals. Then he meets Liraun, a humanoid Cian, and they fall in love. But love between the races is forbidden. Against all obstacles a marriage is arranged. It is then they began to realize the full price of their relationship.
