The Sapphiran Agenda
Om denne e-boken
This short story is a prequel to Beyond the Hidden Sky (The Star Trails Tetralogy Volume 1) which features Thyron, a flora peda telepathis from the planet, Sapphira. His naterra, or home world, is populated by his species of telepathic walking plants as well as a race of cannibalistic pygmies who recognize their botanical intelligence as superior to their own and thus worship them as gods. The two diverse species have a synergistic relationship in which Thyron and others of his kind provide technical assistance to the natives in their interstellar forays for food in return for protection, albeit primitive.
Encounters with humans generally don't end well. Face it, humans are omnivorous and plants a popular source of nourishment. Attempt this on Sapphira, however, and the food chain is likely to change rather abruptly. If you've read Beyond the Hidden Sky you've already met the Sapphirans as well as Thyron and experienced his botanical wisdom. This short story comprises the adventures that led to his appearance in The Star Trails Tetralogy.
