These are the species which lived on the mysterious planet Nacre.  Three scientists came to Nacre to discover, to explore, to record.  Utterly defenseless, they trekked through a grotesque jungle of multiform mushrooms and dense spore-clouds, hoping to unlock the secret of this strange world.  The stunning climax of their mission was just the beginning of a complex drama in which their survival and return to earth - could spell the extinction of humanity!

"STUNNING, COMPELLIN6,AND MEMORABLE... the intelligent mantas of Nacre are surely among the most fascinating aliens in SF."
