Book Cover

Probability Moon is the first book in a new trilogy, set on the planet World, which was featured in the Nebula-winning novelette “The Flowers of Aulit Prison.” Humans have come to World to investigate one of its moons, which is not a moon at all but an a ncient artifact of some kind. The aliens of World, who are pre-industrial, are unaware of this, but they are very aware of humans. Worlders share consensual reality, a biologically-based common view of the world, and are astounded and angered to discove r that humans do not. This causes complications for the anthropology team on the surface, while the military physicists in orbit are discovering that the moon is not at all what it seems, or what they’d hoped it was, but rather something else far more da ngerous.
