Review this book!
A race of aliens searching for a new homeland arrive on Earth in the year 2038. Their appearance is greeted in a variety of ways, but for one journalist, the most important thing is getting the story first. In 1991, this book was the co-winner of the first James Tiptree, Jr. Award--given for exploring or expanding gender roles--and is the first volume in a trilogy that continues with NORTH WIND and PHOENIX CAFE.
