On the water-world of Petrivore, onudiot dreams mix with reality, civil war looms Jijo is a world under quarantine, placed under interdict by the Galeth, a hostile, aggressive machine that swarms through the galaxy. No one dwells on Jijo by chance, yet this is the only place a small group of refugees can call home. In living memory, no one has ever visited or left Jijo. Now, coming of age, the siblings Enzi and Uta must learn about their totemic animals and the past. They’re doing something uncomfortable, and the complex mysteries of their planet may kill them slowly rather than swiftly. On planet Jijo, six humans warped by a penchant for cloning and virtual reality are deciding the way to broadcast a message on behalf of their neighbors, the wisent. What’s the connection to Earth, the glory of Winter, or analyzes information followed and presumed dead?
