In a clearing of the great forest of the planet Bosk Veld, a
strange, ape-like species of alien, the Asadi, act out their
almost-incomprehensible rituals, rainbow eyes flashing, spinning
like pinwheels. Egon Chaney, in his anthropological study, 'Death
and Designation Among the Asadi' has shown how their life-style has
apparently degenerated from a level of complex technological
sophistication and devolved to a primal simplicity. Long after his
disappearance in the forest, his daughter, Elegy Cather, comes to
Bosk Veld to carry on his studies of the Asadi where he left off.
With her is an intelligent ape, Kretzoi, physically adapted to
resemble the aliens. Together with Thomas Benedict, Chaney's old
partner, Elegy begins to unravel the enigma of the Asadi. As
Kretzoi insinuates himself into their rituals, so we are drawn into
what is perhaps the most convincing portrayal of the alien yet.
