Now, two acknowledged masters of science fiction— Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson—have joined together to create a spellbinding, lavishly illustrated saga sure to spark the imaginations of lovers of adventure and fantasy.
On the earthlike Toka at the edge of the universe live the Hokas, a race unlike any other for, although they resemble bears, they are able to change their appearance at will and play any role they choose. With the coming of the Interbeing League and the arrival of humanoid explorers, the Slissii-the reptilian creatures who share the planet with the Hokas-abandon Toka to become wanderers in space; yet the Hokas remain behind and turn their once peaceful planet into a chaotic kaleidoscope of harlequin societies.
Reality may seem altogether remote from Toka, but is it the Hokas who have lost touch with reality or reality that has lost touch with them?
Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson are two of the best-known names in science fiction and fantasy litera-ture. Anderson is the author of more than fifty books, including Orion Shall Rise, and has won two Nebulas and five Hugos. Dickson has written thirty three novels and is now in the midst of a major work-in-progress: the twelve-novel Childe Cycle. Together they are the authors of the classic Earthman's Burden, to which HOKA! is the sequel. Both Anderson and Dickson have served as presidents of the Science Fiction Writers of America.
