About this Item

Paperback. Almost two centuries ago, humans created Homo varii to help fend off alien invaders. varii are mostly human, but with enough animal DNA thrown in to give them special advantages. Now that the aliens are gone, the varii remain among us. They bag our groceries and service our cars, file our taxes and mow our lawns. Most pure-blooded sapiens don't care one way or the other, but some feel threatened and want them destroyed. Although he's worked alongside several dozen varii for years, Dan Blocker hasn't bothered to make friends with any of them. They're unfamiliar and strange, and they sometimes smell. The varii have their own confusing social structure, and Dan has enough trouble figuring out his own species. Bo Taylor is a battle-varius, the largest, most intimidating class of genetic recombinant. He works a machine in the same manufacturing plant where Dan works, and for years the two men pass each other in the hallway without exchanging more than a grunted greeting. One day, despite every cultural, intellectual and physical barrier that separates them, they begin talking to one another, and through each other, the two men discover how little they really know about the worlds they live in. This version of Beneath the Skin contains several scenes of homosexual sexual activity. A sanitized version which will be safe for all ages will be made available at a later date.
