Jarra is stuck on Earth, cursed with a genetic anomaly that
means she is unable to survive on any other planet. Her parents gave her up when she was born and
allowed her to be raised on Earth while they went about their lives. Jarra has always hated her parents and all
people like them. She has decided that
she wants to study history and rather than apply to a university on Earth, she
will apply to an off world school. All
other universities have their first year studies at historic dig sites on Earth
so she will be able to attend for her first year and transfer, after she’s
proven to the exos that she, an ape, is just as good or better than they
are. Her story will be that she was brought
up military so the others won’t be able to trip her up with questions about a
planet that they themselves might be from.
Her plan seems to go perfectly, until she realizes that the other
students are actually nice and may like her anyway. This was a really good book but with a small
typeset it reads slower than some books I’ve read recently. Although I wouldn’t give it to a reluctant
reader, a lot of science fiction fans would probably like this book.
