    About this ebook

    In a corner of the galaxy far far away, Dr. Cy Berger, operating the first interplanetary veterinary service, lands on an alien world where he and his assistant are tasked with solving a medical malady that has infected the inhabitants' main food source. The search for the causal agent takes Cy deep into a canyon that circumvents the planet where he discovers a secret that's too ghastly to comprehend, but failure to find the cure for these creatures means certain starvation for the planet's human settlers.

      The Whale Who Will Come Soon

      Sep 8, 2021

      The beachfront narrows to an ocherous ribbon, belted by blue, above and below. After a while, a handful of shearwaters appear in the air above the Cat Balou. The birds flash around us; like knife-thrower tricks at a circus. Diving through the water,

      Us Animals: Writing the Natural World Back into the Human

      Apr 25, 2018

      There are so many ways for a nest to fail. So many ways for a sentence to fail. In my years as a field biologist I watched how the natural world dealt with the inevitability of failure—in life, mating, reproduction, predation. Unaware, I began to tra
