I spent a week thinking about it and re-read bits of it. Author's website was of no help.<br /><br />My take on this is that the story is primarily a slice of life on this planet as seen from one resident with the background history providing the motivation for the action. <br /><br />The plan to survive long-term is in the background as a secondary story of sorts. Some of Mouh's siblings are not planning to die out and they are making sure of it.<br /><br />They somehow get the dying Arnold Burke onto their planet, get his memory of what he did to get himself discharged from the military, and send off this information to a ship that wants to come here - therefore replenishing their own race. Mouh gets involved after Arnold's arrival. <br /><br />They could have gained knowledge of Arnold from other patients and were just waiting for the right time and piece of knowledge to arrive.<br /><br />The title refers to both Mouh and Arnold.<br /><br />Just my guess. I really wish the author had not been overly subtle in the telling. It was a very good story otherwise.Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08645772819461388524noreply@blogger.com
