CATALOG COPY DESCRIPTION:
Cara always knew life on planet L’eihr would be an adjustment. With Aelyx, her L’eihr boyfriend, back on Earth, working to mend the broken alliance between their two planets, Cara is left to fend for herself at a new school, surrounded by hostile alien clones. Even the weird dorm pet hates her.
Things look up when Cara is appointed as human representative to a panel preparing for a human colony on L’eihr. A society melding their two cultures is a place where Cara and Aelyx could one day make a life together. But with L’eihr leaders balking at granting even the most basic freedoms, Cara begins to wonder if she could ever be happy on this planet, even with Aelyx by her side.
Meanwhile, on Earth, Aelyx, finds himself thrown into a full-scale PR campaign to improve human-L’eihr relations. Humans don’t know that their very survival depends on this alliance: only Aelyx’s people have the technology to fix the deadly contamination in the global water supply that human governments are hiding. Yet despite their upper hand, the leaders of his world suddenly seem desperate to get humans on their side, and hardly bat an eye at extremists’ multiple attempts on Aelyx’s life. The Way clearly needs humans’ help . . . but with what? And what will they ask for in return?

目录简介：
卡拉一直都很清楚，在莱尔星球上的生活只不过是一段过渡时期。她和她的莱尔星球的男友一起回到了地球上，想要努力地修复两人星球之间破碎的联盟关系，卡拉被留在了一座全新的学校里，周围充满了怀有着敌意的克隆人，她必须自己照料自己的安危。即便是古怪的寝室宠物都憎恨着她。
当卡拉作为人类的代表被指名，成为了关于在莱尔星球上准备建立一个人类殖民地的评委团成员后，情况才开始有所好转。这样一个融合了两人各自文化的社会将成为卡拉和艾利克斯有朝一日可以共同生活在一起的地方。然而当莱尔星球的领导人们在即便是给予最基本的自由权上都犹豫不决时，卡拉不禁开始怀疑，在这样的一个星球上，自己真的能够幸福的生活下去吗？即便她拥有艾利克斯陪伴在她的身边又能怎样。
与此同时，如今正在地球上的艾利克斯发现自己被丢进了一场彻头彻尾的PR竞选中，以提升和改善人类一族和莱尔族的关系。人类并不知道他们的性命完全依赖于他们的盟友：只有艾利克斯的族人们拥有治愈致命感染的技术，这种感染来自于全球水源的供应，但人类一族的政府们却隐瞒了这一事实。尽管莱尔一族本来便占据上风，这个世界的领袖却突然对于与人类一族结成联盟而显得绝望起来，甚至对于极端分子对艾利克斯所进行的危及生命的举动也不愿过问。要实现目标显然需要人类一族的帮助。。。。。。但这一切又是为了什么？而作为回报，他们又会提出怎样的要求？（DC）
