There are many people living on Earth who have come from a
distant planet called Orbsey-and others who have come home. The
price for the return trip was all memory of their time on Orbsey,
but even their technology can't fully eradicate all memories. So
many experience small glimpses of what could be a dream of their
past lives on an alien world, but they are afraid to speak of them,
for fear of being ridiculed. But the hidden burden of their
experience cannot be denied.
Stolen from Earth and forced to serve on Orbsey for at least
five years, these lost children of humanity struggle to rebuild
their lives upon their return to Mother Earth. Taken for research
purposes, they were the subjects of Orbsien studies on the very
human predilection for violence. But despite the methodology, the
motives were noble: the scientists of Orbsey want to find the cure
for violence. But two thousand years of observation and research
have failed.
Now, two Orbsien students have been given a grant to travel back
in time to do a full-time study on Earth. These young aliens take
human wives and settle into Earth culture. When they devise a plan
to return to Orbsey with their wives, their plans become
complicated by temporal issues: can these women from Earth's past
adjust to life in its present-let alone the future on Orbsey? T
hese students risk it all in the name of love-proving that some
things are universal after all.
