First, however, another world requires their attention: the crowded, ecologically ravaged planet of the swarming, insect-like isenj. Efforts to drastically reduce the isenj population have sparked a devastating civil war—which may well do the savior/destroyers' work for them. And the human visitors can only watch.Rendered immortal and ever changeable by a parasite in her blood, ex-cop Shan Frankland isn't content merely to play Matriarch to her two similarly infected mates—one earthborn, one alien wess'har.

"Établi et tissé à partir des propos tenus par la Callas elle-même - propos recueillis dans la masse considérable d'articles, d'interviews, et de reportages parus dans le monde entier entre 1957 et 1974 - ce texte a pour seule ambition de faire entendre à nouveau la voix unique d'une femme et d'une immense artiste s'exprimant sur son art avec une intégrité, un absolu - souvent même de la drôlerie - qui forcent plus que le respect ou la seule admiration. Il est tout à fait remarquable, par exemple, que sa pensée, déjà ferme et droite en 1957, se trouve précisée, comme s'il s'agissait d'une même phrase, dans tels entretiens ou remarques livrés en 1970. Sur son art, Maria Callas n'aura jamais dévié. C'est à ce travail de tissage et de restitution le plus fidèle possible que je me suis livré avec la passion et le bonheur que l'on éprouve à vivre, pendant des mois, en si haute et humaine compagnie."--Page 4 of cover.
