描述

The Matriarchs deemed men too aggressive. Genetic engineering took care of that.Winga married Jakor to escape her restrictive home planet, Gaia, where the governing council of women fear the corrupting influence of other planets.Winga defies her culture and her mother to marry an offworld man. Unfortunately, Jakor dies on their honeymoon. She doesn't believe it was an accident. Captain Rifkin Lile is told by his superior officer to marry Winga and continue Jakor's investigation of drug smuggling on Gaia. Rif and Winga have to work out their relationship, pick their way through enormous cultural differences, and figure out exactly what is going on and why. If they survive, there will be revolutionary changes to society on Gaia -- and to Rif and Winga.
