A Christmas Cactus for the General - IMP Universe, #1

The planet is too warm, too wet, its people too strange, and yet the choice it simple. Adapt or die. Exiled to Earth for perhaps the worst failure in Irasolan history, General Teer must assimilate or die. Earth is too warm, too wet, too foreign, but he does the best he can even though human males are loud, childish louts whom he can't imitate successfully. When a grieving seaplane pilot strikes up a strange and uneasy friendship with him, he finds he may have been too quick to judge human males.
They are strange to look at, but perhaps not as unbearable as he thought. IMP UniverseA Christmas Cactus for the GeneralA Message from the Home OfficeThe Nut Job
