F/SF

Pretty good. Creative story with interesting aliens and worlds. Fun concepts. ( )

An imaginative Star trek novel in which the crew is captured by strange aliens who look on the humans as interesting specimens for their well-stocked zoo. They finally negotiate their release by agreeing to capture a jawanda, an intergalactic creature that feeds off of radiant energy and approaches millions of kilometers in breadth. Not much character development, but interesting xenobiology. ( )
