Carol Emshwiller

Emshwiller creates a believable, flawed character, a military man taking a mission for money, more concerned about his appearance and worried that he will not be accorded respect due to his status, than matters ethical or moral.

There’s somewhat of a dream-like quality to the story.

Nicely told story looking at whether it is right to protect innocence.

Lovely short story with a deft touch.

Emshwiller explores the relationship between the native species on a planet, and the humans who arrive to explore.

Embracing the wilds, a man eschews that which he has left behind, to become one with the land on which he lives.
