From the back cover Ace Books paperback September 1981:

Sainte Croix and Sainte Anne... sister planets where the lives of humans and aliens merge like dreams and twist into nightmare. A haunting, lyrical, finally chilling triptych:

-- John March, Terran anthropologist, searches for the truth about the vanished aboriginal culture of the sister planets.

-- Sandwalker, an abo child, searches for Eastwind, the long-lost twin brother he has met only in dreams.

-- Number 5, reared in a Sainte Croix brothel, searches for his identity in a world of genetically engineered aliens clothed in human bodies -- and human memories.

Work Description

Bien loin de la Terre, deux planètes soeurs, Sainte-Anne et Sainte-Croix, ont été colonisées par des Français qui ont détruit la population indigène de la seconde. Des décennies plus tard, après que les colons ont été eux-mêmes vaincus et dispersés, un ethnologue consacre sa vie à retrouver les traces de cette culture effacée et oubliée.
