Homecoming
This book is a story of some of the remote descendants of those Humans who followed their R’il’nian progenitor to the stars a hundred millennia ago. The R’il’nai are approaching extinction and the survival of Humanity depends on the recent R’il’nian-Human crossbreds. Homecoming is the tale of two R’il’nians, each believing that he or she is the last survivor of their species, and of a slave boy who is far more than he will admit, even to himself.
The Story Behind This Book
I've been telling myself stories for years--back to grade school, at least. Gradually they coalesced into a coherent universe, and started demanding to be let out of my head. I started writing them down over 15 years ago. It took numerous rewrites and rearrangements to get a part of Roi's early life down as Homecoming and its sequel (which should be out spring 2011) Tourist Trap.
