Tao is a Quasing, part of an alien race that crash landed on our planet millions and millions of years ago, only to find that our atmosphere is toxic to them, forcing them to become, effectively, parasites living in other creature’s consciousness. What follows is an at times hilarious, sad and philosophical thriller that has such an excellent pace to it that I read it in less than a day.
