Hal Yarrow, product of a sexually repressive theocracy, leaps at the chance to accompany a mission to the newly discovered alien civilization of Ozagen. Here he meets the beautiful Jeanette , apparently the offspring of an earlier Terran explorer and a native humanoid. Their clandestine affair, carried out against the background of a secret Terran plot to wipe out the indigenous population of Ozagen, culminates in disaster brought about by Hal's ignorance of Jeanette's true biological ancestry. - Kirkus Reviews Condition: Binding - good, minor spine lean, minor edgewear, slight rubbing, minor soiling, corners slightly bumped, very small tear at top of the front cover, both the front and the back covers have a few creases including hinge creases along the spine, no spine reading creases, a few page edges are lightly nicked.
