Overview
The desert world of Dray's Planet is inhabited bythe Children of the Second Revelation, who fear that
unbelieving outsiders may contaminate their religion. But when
a strange creature is discovered, only an unbeliever named
Cecil Robinson has the necessary expertise that will allow him
to study it. Permitted on Dray's surface, he is soon joined by
his ruthless rival and suddenly the journey to discover the
truth behind this mysterious creature turns deadly. And Cecil
soon learns that there is more at stake for the populace of
Dray's Planet than just a scientific exploration...
Praise for Catherine Wells: * "A well-told tale...I look
forward to the next title from this new name in the field." --
Science Fiction Chronicle * "MOTHER GRIMM is a thinking
person's SF novel." --Starlog * "An uncomfortably believable
novel that reads more like future history than science fiction.
Wells is a natural storyteller who serves up a well-measured
mixture of the best ingredients--conflict and greed, love and
lust, hope and dreams and suspense." --Grand Forks Herald
