[Second edition. Previously published as The Loneliest Whale by Lily Markova] For centuries, an ancient superior race has been hiding among ordinary people-and if they touch you, you will never be yourself again. Banished from their collective mind, a nameless man finds himself alone and vulnerable for the first time in his life, cast out to survive in the ordinary world. Something alien stares at a girl out of her own pupils, and there is no running from it. A boy can read the universal source code but cannot bring himself to care. A lonely whale cries, unheard. In a mysterious accident, their stories collide. Masks fall. Cities shatter. Change is inevitable.
