By the Light of the Silvery Moons

A year ago the human crew of the exploration starship "Meriwether I" responded to a strange distress call and made first contact with the Lano, an elf-like race whose ship seemed to run on magic. Earth erupted in turmoil when the first Lano representatives arrived, but now it is the Lano's turn when Captain Susan Ho and her crew arrive on the Lano capital world, Treloi in Meriwether II. The Lano population is split on the subject of interspecies marriage and adoption with proponants on boths sides of the issue demonstrating fiercely for what they believe in. The situation only gets worse, however, when a third and hostile space-faring race is discovered in this second volume of "The Terralano Venture."
