- Synopsis
- When Maran, an eighteen-year-old student, rescues a young space traveler named Alik, he claims to have escaped a planet where one race, the Frathi, waged a war of extinction on another, the Arakkans. But Maran is Frathi. Why has she never heard of this? Slowly the horrible truth of a buried past comes to light: Her people are guilty of genocide. [From the dust jacket:] "One day, eighteen-year-old Maran and her friends are witnesses to a mysterious scarlet streak blazing across the dawn sky. A meteor? Maran decides to investigate, but what she discovers will change her life forever. An alien pod has landed on Terrat Du. And the alien who emerges has an incredible tale to tell: Known as "The Traveler," he is an escaped survivor from a planet under attack by a race of brutal barbarians intent on conquering his planet, Arakka--and exterminating his people. Incredibly, The Traveler insists he has returned to Arakka. Terrat Du is Arakka. The alien is home. How can this be? Maran comes face-to-face with a horrifying question: Could it have been her people who launched the genocide against the Arakkans? A startling debut novel from a promising young writer, Home is a powerful statement about the nature of history and truth, and an affecting portrait of a young woman's odyssey of redemption"
