Orn
Three humans and an extraordinary alien creature in a quest across the face of a counter-earth in turmoil:
Cal
is a wise and courageous old man whose courage overcomes his wisdom in
a deadly encounter with a towering and majestic monster.
Veg
is a strong and sensitive man whose total loyalty to the exploration
team is fearfully tested in the wilds of the killer planet.
Aquilon
is a beautiful young woman, an artist and an adventurer, who forms a
strange and beautiful friendship with a creature who cannot speak to
her.
Orn is a great, powerful and lethal bird – a bird with a
subtle and fascinating alien intelligence and a surprising and unique
purpose in existence.
