About this listen

One mistake by space linguist Jalila could cost an alien species their lives. The crew of the starship IBN BATTUTA has 24 hours to prepare the people of planet Vox to face an approaching invasion fleet. But when Jalila mistakenly uses a forbidden slur, the Vox locals attack their supposed saviors. Drawn into a violent revolution, a "war of words" to decide language dominance, Jalila must rely on other resources when deprived of communication technology and even the power of speech. As revolution and invasion collide, only Jalila can save her shipmates and the planet Vox by revealing the secret behind the slur that started it all, the dark secret linking Vox and invaders in an ancient cycle of slavery, suffering, lies, and death.

Critic reviews

"Robert Jeschonek is a towering talent..." (Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author)
"Jeschonek´s stories are delightfully insane, a pleasure to read…" (Fabio Fernandes, Fantasy Book Critic)
"Robert Jeschonek is the literary love child of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman - his fiction is cutting edge, original, and pulsing with dark and fantastical life. His stories suck me in and refuse to let me go until the last page…" (Adrian Phoenix, critically acclaimed author of The Maker's Song series and Black Dust Mambo)
