Opis

The Fahr are the oldest and most powerful sapient species in the galaxy and the only one to have mastered interstellar travel. Song Corp, the most powerful corporate entity on their planet, is on a routine pet collecting expedition when they arrive on the Earth in the middle 14th century. They find a stagnant Humanity decimated by the black plague. They also find humpback whales, singers of the most powerful and addictive songs they have ever encountered. Song Corp decides they must collect these whales but their ship is too small. They return to their home planet to get larger one, a round trip that will take over 650 years. When they return, the stagnant humanity they first encountered has evolved into something much more formidable. Song Corp has too much invested to turn back now so plans are drawn up to collect the whales, by force if necessary. On board the Song Corp ship is Teracia, a rare Fahr female. She's a sapient species rights activist who has managed to deceive the Song Corp management into letting her join the crew. She soon finds herself resisting an entire corporation in an attempt to save the human race.
