Perhaps casual nudity wasn't Kim's best idea. Kimberly Storm-Gale has to make it back to Tau Ceti University-- and fast-- after his peaceful research sabbatical is turned upside down by corporate predators. As he struggles to find a way to remain a free man, he doesn't expect his research subjects to kidnap him. Grandchild of the Jorann or not, Halla is a burden. She is also an outcaste, born to Sanctuary Venak and living in Sanctuary Aanesh, where she has struggled for years to survive the loss of her life-partner-- a battle she is slowly losing. Kim and Halla begin to dream about one another even before circumstances throw them together on Tolar, but now they have more to deal with than just their growing attraction: Kim may not be who he thinks he is. Outcaste is the engrossing sixth book in the Tales of Tolari Space science fiction series. If you like planetary adventure and heart-warming romance, you'll love Christie Meierz' tales of the reclusive Tolari.
