Description
A lone human emissary is sent to the unknown alien world of Winter, whose inhabitants can choose, and change, their gender. His purpose is to facilitate Winter's inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilization. But to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and those of the completely dissimilar culture he encounters. Completely embracing the aspects of psychology, society, and human emotion on an alien world, this work stands as a landmark achievement in the annals of intellectual science fiction.
