Synopsis ~
Jony had never known the Outside. Snatched from
his family by an alien race, subjected to experiments and mind control on a
strange planet, the boy’s world had always been the cage, which held him
prisoner. It is only when he comes to live with the People, a gentle tribe of
intelligent animals that Jony first comes to know feelings of security,
camaraderie, and love. Until the landing of a spaceship full of humans shatters
their peaceful lives. But Jony uses his wits against the arrivals’
sophisticated weapons to defend his protectors - as he faces the conflict of
his allegiance to the People and his attraction to his own kind. Jony finds
himself in a difficult position ~ should he protect the People? Or should he
join his own kind?
