Synopsis

A generation ship arrives at a new star system to find something unprecedented: an inhabited planet with a pre-industrial alien civilization. Told through alternating perspectives of the human colonists and the bat-like aliens who spot them in their telescopes, it’s a story about the shock of first contact from both sides.
