About the Book

"If you read no other "alien" authors this year, don't miss WALLS OF WIND." BookreporterWhat if males and females were completely different species?On the alien planet Wind there are two sentient species: the Ghen are fierce hunters who protect the walls of their city-state, while the Bria are farmers and artisans who bear the young of both species. They have little in common except their biology, and struggle to live together.Briarris is determined to change that--to evict Ghen from their joint city-state into the wild forests beyond. After all, the Ghen spend much of their time there already, hunting and exploring. But when Briarris learns the terrible secret at the heart of their civilization, everything changes. With the help of a handful of Bria and Ghen, Briarris fights to save their civilization from the dark secret within and the terrible predator that hungers just outside their walls.WALLS OF WIND combines gender relations, sociology and anthropological speculation with the tragedy, suspense and triumph of individual characters. If you like thought-provoking speculative fiction with compelling prose, complex characters and a unique story, you'll love this incredible journey into another world.
