Summary/Annotation -> Lord's debut novel, the multiple-award-winning "Redemption in Indigo," showed a brilliantly innovative voice fusing Caribbean storytelling traditions and speculative fiction. In her new book, a reserved alien society finds its homeland destroyed and the survivors have no choice but to reach out to the indigenous humanoids of their adopted world.
