"Icy Nager introduces the Prophetstowners, invented by Andrea Alton. At first, I didn't think their method of transfer would be possible in the "real" S/G universe, but Andrea convinced me. Now they are considered part of the canon--they really existed. Some day, Sime archeologists will rediscover them and Gen anthropologists will do tv specials on the Prophetstown phenomenon. Of course, the tabloids will get hold of it first. Politicians will have a field day. And God alone knows what the Church of the Purity will say about Soul-Sharing!" [1]
An icy tingle stole across his nerves as the watcher on the far side of the valley allowed his attention to shift across Evan's hiding place. Evan sharpened his focus, touched the Gen field and gasped, flinching from that inhuman, chill, death-like hardness. It was alien ... unclean. Unconsciously, he wiped his tentacles across his shirt front in disgust. What was that?Oh, no. It couldn't be! Icy Nager? Here?
In the distant future of this universe, humanity has mutated into Sime and Gen. The Gens, sole producers of life-energy, are preyed upon and killed by the Simes, who must take this energy to live.
When Evan Trandolphic, a Sime who makes his living scavenging for metal along the Gen Territory border, meets the infamous and frightening Gen known as Icy Nager, something is bound to happen. Evan never expected to meet a Gen who wasn't afraid of him. And he certainly never imagined there was a Gen anywhere who was willing to risk taking a Sime as an equal partner. [2]
