    Summary

    “Not so strange,” Rocky says mildly. “Back in not-so-distant past Eridian eat other Eridian all the time. Top of food chain. After natural disaster, war, not so much else to eat. Ecosystem delicate, especially if carnivore, especially if big. 🎵🎶 good thing to have to fall back on.” 

    “Cannibalism,” I manage to get out. 

    “New word. Cannibalism.”

    Summary

    ***

    “What? You’re not wanting to actually do this soap opera appearance, are you?” Rocky asked.

    Grace’s ears pulsed with blood flow and he gave a twitch of a shrug.

    “I mean…kinda?” he said. “I love As Erid Turns.”

    Rocky turned to Adrian.

    “Well?”

    “Well, what? I think he should do it,” Adrian said placidly.

    “Adrian! Grace is not some—cheap floozy of an entertainer! He’s a respected interstellar scientist!”

    Summary

    At some point between arriving on Erid, emaciated and delirious, and starting up his classroom, Dr Captain Ryland Grace had become a global sensation.
    His actions, unbeknownst to him, triggered cultural waves that, to the humour of Saviour-Rocky, and the glee of the management team at the Centre For Human-Eridian Friendship, introduced trends with unprecedented efficiency and reach.

     

    Or: Grace is unwittingly a cultural icon, baby he’s bigger than Madonna.
