by Jeffrey Thomas (Author)
Three stories of the collision between alien races and human colonists in the nightmarish far future city called Punktown.
VERTICES - A human woman is unnerved by a sudden wave of not-fully-human refugees into Punktown, especially when their presence begins to touch upon her own family. THE WEDDING GOWN - The Usumil people have three biological sexes, and marriage rituals that might seem strange -- even deadly -- to human colonists of Punktown. THE TRANSPORTED - Malo L'Orange is an addict, and the dealer of a strange drug he creates himself from the living cells of the Usumil people -- the same race his former lover belongs to -- a drug that seems to transport one's mind to the bizarre home world of the Usumil.
