The Interbeing League had been formed to make contact with new intelligent
races in the galaxy and offer them membership. But when the League encountered
the Hokas, furry creatures strongly resembling the teddy-bears of Earth, the
League's agent, Alexander Jones, could have been excused for wishing he had a
simpler assignment than making sense out of the Hokas-such as
single-handedly stopping an interstellar war.
Not that the fuzzy aliens were unfriendly. In fact, they loved everything
about humans, and adopted various Terran cultures wholesale and in every little
detail-but with a bit of confusion about the differences between fact and
fiction. So if the Hokas suddenly started acting out the parts in a rip-roaring,
shoot-em-up western, or brought to life the London of Sherlock Holmes, complete
with a pipe-puffing, deerstalker-wearing Hoka, or suddenly decided to fly the
Jolly Roger and lead a life of adventure and piracy on the high seas, matey,
that was only to be expected. And as the Hokas threw themselves wholeheartedly
into progressively wilder worlds from Terran history and fiction, Jones could be
excused for feeling that his grip on reality was hanging by a single, thin,
increasingly frayed thread....
