    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The galaxy-wide Guild of Xenolinguists handles all cross-cultural communications by sending agents abroad to learn new languages and program translation computers. The travails of novice linguists animate these 11 stories as they face much more than simple translation work, taking on alien parasites and viruses, a mysterious and violent star-faring race, dolphin instructors, and large tyrant ants. As cultures and languages collide, first contact quickly becomes a matter of morality, galactic politics, death, and war.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[This skillful and entertaining exploration of language and cross-cultural communication presents a portrait of sentient beings in the midst of discovering written language. The Xenolinguists are a guild of alien-language translators who travel the galaxy. Translator Ries Danyo is a down-on-his-luck lingster, so far gone he's hooked on zyth. Once a promising talent, he's fallen to interpreting for the deputy commissioner's wife on her shopping sprees in the Freh bazaar. But when a Freh uprising leads to murder, Danyo must lead the commissioner's daughters to safety on a journey that irrevocably changes the Frehti language and the future of Krishna itself.]]>

    <![CDATA[Eleven year-old Ursula Neilsen never believed NASA's verdict that carelessness caused the death of her older sister, an astronaut on a routine mission to a crippled satellite, but there wasn't much a kid could do about it. Years later, she finds herself the target of someone who's trying to kill her because she knows too much. Seeking help from a disgruntled former NASA engineer, she learns the space agency is covering up the presence of an alien her sister made contact with. It's a secret that seems about to cost her her life.]]>

    <![CDATA[There was something strange about Ann Bonney's mission to the unexplored world called Chameleon. Though only women were judged fit for space, Earth's Central Computer had for some reason placed a man among them ... an artist who was not docile like other men.  <p>  For Language Specialist Gia Kennedy, the answer lay in the baffling rituals of the planet's primitive natives -- an answer that hovered just out of reach. There, in the heart of an alien wilderness, Gia would defy her culture and discover an ancient truth.</p>]]>
