SYNOPSIS: Thirty-two days before the earth's supply of oxygen is due to give out, a tiny band of men and women make a desperate attempt to prevent the transformation of humanity into a fluorine-breathing species. In a society where mates are matched by computer and sexually aligned for life, one man's audacious--and ingenious--rebellion triggers revolution. Hypnotic hallucinations overpower the crew of an earthbound spaceship, and the men find themselves caught up in a battle of wits with a deadly non-human race on a planet light years away. In her search for sunken treasure, a young woman comes upon a Silkie, a being that is part fish, part man, can change its shape at will--and has a very strange request.
