Heckleck is a Hort on planet Patra. Due to overpopulation, a lot of Hort will have to leave for another planet. Heckleck is eager to go.

Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)

Lots of infodumps. The narration is heavy on "tell" and light on "show." The dialogue is wooden. It reads more like the outline for a story.
