A classic of science fiction, in which for the first time sex and science intermingle with often hilarious results.

Mary is a communications expert, passionate and compassionate about the strange and oftern unnerving life forms she encounters on her travels to distant galaxies. Non-interference is the code, but emotional and erotic entanglements cannot always be avoided, and scientific detachment is not always easy to mantain. Mary explores her own sexuality, with colleagues and with friends such as the hermaphroditic Martian, Vly.

The result is a critical look at earth-bound morality and a marvellously entertaining tale of one woman's bizarre adventures in worlds unlike our own.
