When the conquering aliens on Earth find out that their home planet has been destroyed, they turn to the humans--whom they have long treated as intellectually inferior--for the scientific help they need to rescue their planet
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
A race of turtle-like creatures conquers Earth, imposing a gentler set of values on humankind, outlawing destructive technology, and denying the validity of human scientific theories. When their home planet disappears into a black hole, however, the aliens' only hope for the future hinges on the possibility that humanity's flawed sciences might contain a glimmer of truth. Two veteran sf authors combine their strengths to produce a novel that both explains and explores the "mysteries" of modern science. For most sf collections.
