Humans have been on this planet for 78 years.
THE LIMINALIS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE.
Libet's trip to Colony Arroyo to visit a mother she's never known becomes a transformative adventure of personal growth, societal upheaval and awe-inspiring scientific discovery.
She is challenged with a brain injury that causes seizures and memory loss; must learn to travel through the giant javali trees in order to hide from the authorities; and immediately falls under the spell of the floating invertebrates her father called the liminalis. In defiance of her powerful mother who considers the liminalis to be dangerous, Libet sides with and rallies a group of outcasts to change the status quo and protect these unique, fascinating creatures from threat of extinction by the dictatorial government.
In the process of laying bare secrets and lies about the native species, Libet gradually, and somewhat mysteriously, recovers her health while uncovering the reasons her father left the colony with her 25 years earlier and-extraordinarily-why he was never forgotten by the highly intelligent and empathic liminalis.
If you love animals, you will love this story. The Liminalis falls on the spectrum of extremely satisfying stories featuring charming aliens in-between Remarkably Bright Creatures and Project Hail Mary. Get to know the liminalis!
