Orn

Three humans and an extraordinary alien creature in a quest across the face of a counter-earth in turmoil.

Cal is a wise and courageous old man whose courage overcomes his wisdom in a deadly encounter with a towering and majestic monster.

Veg is a strong and sensitive man whose total loyalty to the exploration team is fearfully tested in the wilds of the killer planet.

Aquilon is a beautiful young woman, an artist and adventurer, who forms a strange and haunting friendship with a creature who cannot speak.

Orn is a great, powerful lethal bird---a bird with a subtle and fascinating alien intelligence and a surprising and unique reason for living.
