   Additional Information  
 
  A collection of short stories about the Hoka, a species of teddy bear-like aliens who take absolutely everything literally. Their inability to distinguish fiction from anything else makes for problematic negotiations with human ambassadors. The first of three books about the Hoka--the others being "Star Prince Charlie", a novel, and "Hoka!", a second collection of short stories.
