Aliens, called Scorpions, who appear to be completely human but with much more advanced technology arrive on Earth. Much of the novel is concerned with the difficulties in understanding each other, based in part on their own failure to understand themselves. The Scorpions, it turns out, had as flawed a history as the humans and had thoroughly suppressed it.
