Ahh... Teaser and the Firecat was a good album (which Cat Stevens adapted into his children's book of the same name).

Yup, EV gets it! Photino birds, it is. They're not bad, just non-baryonic ...

Admiral Lavrenti Kutuzov. The Mote in God's Eye.

Yes indeed - and an excellent character he is too. The Mote in God's Eye is probably one of the best sci-fi novels out there!
Over to you, sir!

Just found a book in my collection.

Which book and by whom.

[Tricky]

Ok Parahuans are a race in this book. The book was also first published in Analog under a different title.
