What responsibility goes with great ability?
This book is a story of some of the remote descendants of those Humans who followed their R'il'nian progenitor to the stars a hundred millennia ago. The R'il'nai are approaching extinction, and the survival of Humanity depends on the recent R'il'nian-Human hybrids, the R'il'noids.
Homecoming is the story of two R'il'nians, each believing that he or she is the last survivor of their species, and a slave boy who is far more than he will admit, even to himself.
