"My
name is Janni. I am a duranni, a native of Outre Mer. I have a mind. I believe that I have a soul. I am a person."
Born into Awakened society, Janni believes that people of all origins can live and work together. He does not understand
why Earth sends its death squads into the forests of his homeland to hunt down educated duranni like him. Trained by his human
worldmates, Janni leads a mission into space to rid Outre Mer of its jailers. Many on Earth are content to let Outre Mer go
its own way. But a clique of policy makers and shadowy operatives goes beyond the pale to make sure that doesn't happen.
Outre Mer is a character-driven story
in the tradition of Michael Shaara's The Killer Angels involving people on both sides of a conflict struggling
to follow their orders, their convictions, and their instincts without always knowing why.
