A Raven on My Shoulder Summary
| The aliens who control the galaxy have finally permitted the human race to establish its first colony beyond the solar system, on an Earthlike world circling the star Gamma Leporis A. But Homo sapiens is on probation. The settlers have to demonstrate that they are worthy of the lease. Unfortunately, the overlords are so unfathomably alien in their values that the settlers are uncertain what standards of behavior they are being held to. It could be that as little as one error in judgment or lapse of morality will cause the beings to yank back the charter, as they did with the planet's previous tenants, a race known as the Eridanin. In the wake of the colony's first homicide, the question of worthiness is very much on the mind of the investigators-will the murder trigger the end of human expansion to the stars? [Dozois' Year's Best SF honorable mention 1999] |
