About this book
Anthropologist Marghe Taishan travels to the planet Jeep to test a vaccine against a virus that destroyed the original colony and permanently altered its population. The isolated world is now inhabited entirely by women, whose societies have developed independently across generations. As Marghe studies Jeep’s biology and cultures, a corporate expedition turns hostile, forcing her to question the assumptions behind her mission and the civilization she was sent to investigate. The romance is quieter and more gradual than the books above, but the novel rewards readers who want rigorous speculative biology, anthropology, queer world-building, and a contemplative sense of discovery.
