Why this must be read: Author's summary - "John finds himself on the wrong side of science, and learns first hand what it means when certain scientific assumptions turn out to be wrong." This is excellent, dark science fiction with one heck of a role reversal, where Sheppard is the alien life form in the hands of a race who see him as nothing more than another animal to be studied. He is not only put through the physical wringer, but mental as well.

What I love most about Coolbreeze1's stories is that she knows how to follow through with whatever she puts Sheppard through. There are no quick fixes, no magic words that make it all better. She handles the situation realistically and sympathetically, with a fleshed out alien race that isn't merely there for the sake of having "bad guys," and wonderful friendship moments, most especially between Sheppard and Ronon.
