Official synopsis Publisher
From the back cover:
Herbivore – one who eats only vegetables
Carnivore – one who lives by blood and flesh
Omnivore – who feeds on all things to sustain life
And so there were three; all human, all held together by a triangle of indeterminate love – the man of brawn, the cripple, and the woman.
They were scientists on a troubleshooting expedition to the planet Nacre, the silent, dusky planet of multiform mushrooms and spore-clouds, where eighteen had died or disappeared before them.
The trio were there to explore, to discover, to record, not really afraid, but then, not really prepared for the awesome secret of Nacre’s mystical third kingdom of fungi.
