The alien Belatrin are the "Other." They look like us, they organize their society like ours, yet even the slightest contact with them leads humans to madness. Here are seven encounters from a war in space that leads to a species-changing moment of synthesis and transformation, including the classic, award-winning novella, "The Five Biographies of General Gerrhan." First-rate space opera in the grand style!
