Still Forms On Foxfield by Joan Slonczewski
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 800kb
Overview: A classis science fiction first contact story about aliens who are really alien—not humanoids with minimal differences from Earth-humans.
Fleeing the final war that would destroy Earth's civilization, a small group of Friends—Quakers—found refuge on the uncharted planet they named Foxfield. Somehow they managed to survive, with the aid of the bizarrely gifted native life-form, the Commensals—and, even more extraordinarily, they kept up the practice of their gentle but demanding beliefs.
Then, after nearly a century of silence, Earth contacted them—human civilization had miraculously survived the war and had spread out to the stars, flourishing to an undreamed-of richness. And the Friends of Foxfield were a part of it—whether they agreed or not.
