About This Book

An experimental attempt to transplant human egos into other bodies catastrophically misfires, flinging many human minds into the bodies of amphibious aliens on a swampy Venus while alien intelligences reach Earth. Stranded in unfamiliar, fogbound wetlands, the displaced humans must adapt their new bodies, forage and construct shelters, repel hostile native creatures and negotiate relations with local populations. The narrative follows their practical efforts to organize defenses, devise technology from scarce resources, and confront questions of identity and survival in a hostile, alien ecosystem.
