Award winning novel (translated from French) When two cultures clash... After leaving Earth, a human colony starts a new life on a planet they have baptised Mars II — currently occupied by the Darztls, a highly intelligent indiginous race of lizards. Although initial attempts are made to tolerate each others’ presence, both races quickly move toward mutual disdain, distrust and finally, acts of violence.

Praise: “Well-written, the story will appear to the reader of science fiction as well as students of history, colonialism, and race relations. A gripping tale of the shock and misunderstandings arising when two very different cultures clash.” — Ronald Hore, CM Magazine “I loved reading this in its original French version.... It is not written in the typical linear fashion that most of us are used to.... A must-read also for the interesting literary devices she uses.” — tboyjacky, wordpress
