Publisher's Synopsis
A predator displaced into an abyss sacrifices its dimensional form to survive, but is unable to grow, propagate or die. A spacetime traveler perceives and interacts with the timeless entity, revealing a way for the creature to escape. This has serious consequences for life on the planet, Kuliptis, when the creature discovers its life can be accommodated by Clara's daughter to use as a stepping stone to propagate itself into all life on the planet. There is one who is immune, her son, who must find a way to save his family, himself, and Kuliptis from annihilation.
