The descendants of humans marooned on the strange planet known as
Mictlan have survived against almost impossible odds and have
reached a tentative peace with themselves and the native
inhabitants. **** Perhaps the most terrifying change has been the
development of a third human gender-the mid-male 'Sa' fundamentally
changing the meaning of relationships and social structures humans
have known for thousands of years. **** Adjustments to these
changes and influences have come at a terrible physical and
emotional cost. The fragile peace governing the communities hide
deep rivalries, prejudices and animosities. **** Then a young human
'Sa' is kidnapped and savagery rules as long-buried emotions and
feelings burst forth and the planet is gripped in a storm of
violence-a violence that threatens to destroy all. **** Yet there
may be salvation. For an imposing curved monolith called 'The
Speaking Stone' holds ancient knowledge that may help bring true
peace to the people of Mictlan. But the knowledge itself is buried
deep within cryptic hieroglyphs that must be deciphered if the
planet's inhabitants are to survive.
